Strong winds are moving east across England and Wales, while sleet and snow is expected in parts of Scotland.
Travel delays are likely, with staff shortages hitting some rail lines.
Eurostar warned of "severe delays" as trains to and from London St Pancras International were cancelled due to flooding in a tunnel under the Thames.
Travel journalist Simon Calder said the station was "in chaos", with Eurostar cancelling 10 trains, representing about 8,000 passengers.
High-speed Southeastern services running between London St Pancras and Ebbsfleet are also affected.
Southeastern said Network Rail and Thames Water engineers were working to fix the problem, with disruption expected until midday.
Separately there is major disruption on Thameslink services due to staffing issues.
