Storm Ellen
The Met Office has issued a series of yellow weather warnings, with travel disruption expected.
The Met also warns the South West of England could see surface water flooding.
The front is moving in from the Atlantic and contains the remnants of Tropical Storm Kyle.
Storm Kyle formed off the East Coast of the US, but has now merged with another storm that came from Greenland and renamed Storm Ellen by Ireland's Met Office, Met Eireann.
Luckily for the UK, we're only getting the tail end of Storm Kyle, but even with that, Storm Ellen will see high winds and heavy rain.
Check out the Photo Gallery for more Storm Ellen Images.
The StARR project.
The St Austell Bay Resillient Regeneration (StARR) project aims to reduce flood risk to communities.
