An amber warning for strong winds has been issued for Oxfordshire today.
The warning lasts from 10am until 8pm.
The warnings come as Storm Henk hits the UK with heavy rain and strong winds expected to disrupt travel.
Gusts up to 50-60mph are widely forecast, and up to 70mph to 80mph for a time in exposed parts of the west.
It means there is a good chance that power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage.
