Severe weather warnings are in place for tomorrow as strong winds are set to batter London when Storm Katie hits the south-east.
The Met Office said there would sunny spells in the capital on Easter Sunday as thousands of people were set to flock to the banks of the Thames for the Boat Race.
But forecasters warned there may be some patchy heavy showers during the course of the day, with a risk of hail and thunder.
And severe weather warnings were issued for Easter Monday as winds of up to 70mph hit parts of the UK.
The Met Office said: “Winds will strengthen markedly across southern England and through the Bristol Channel from the early hours of Monday.
“An area of low pressure will rapidly deepen to the southwest of the UK later on Sunday and then run northeastwards across England and Wales on Monday accompanied by some very strong winds, large coastal waves and heavy rain.”
Conditions are expected to become brighter and more settled later in the week.
The latest weather warnings come after huge trees were brought down in West Hampstead and Clapton yesterday in strong winds.
