The Met Office has expressed apprehension about the weather conditions in the UK, issuing three yellow weather warnings due to the expected sweep of storms across the country.
The named Spanish storm has a low chance of becoming a subtropical storm, AEMET said, but will still bring chaotic conditions to several parts of Spain - but a possible heat surge to Britain.
As Storm Eunice battered Britain with record-breaking wind speeds and astonishing waves on Friday, hundreds of thousands of viewers tuned in to a nail-biting live video of planes making bumpy, impressive landings in the UK's capital.
Charts assessing wind speed by WXCharts show the UK turn purple at 3pm this afternoon, as the UK braces for stormy conditions.
Weather maps by forecasters Magicseaweed, also show a terrifying weather system moving towards the UK around 6pm tonight.
The chart, which represents the scale of the swell, shows a mass of red and pink approaching the west of the UK.
The map suggests the huge swell could see waves reach a height of 40ft (12metres).
The chart shows the potentially damaging conditions hit the UK at midnight tonight and will have fully dispersed by 3pm on Friday.
