The huge wave of wet weather is expected to throw the nation’s public transport links and major motorways into chaos.
Also, the Met Office has warned that the winds could lead to falling debris while the heavy rains could cause flash floods.
Ahead of the storms, homeowners have been advised to secure loose outdoor items including sheds, bins and garden furniture.
The yellow weather warning will cover much of the west and southwest of England, as well as the entirety of Wales.
Also, much of southern England and the north west have been placed under the weather warning.
The weather warning will last from 8pm on Sunday to 6pm on Monday.
An average wind speed of 60mph is expected around the nation’s coasts and hills, which could build up to 80mph in exposed locations.
The Met Office has confirmed that the most violent weather is expected on Monday morning, when it will steadily begin to head eastwards.
Paul Gundersen, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We have been monitoring a deepening area of low pressure over the North Atlantic that might bring impactful weather to the UK, most likely on Sunday and Monday.
“At present, a named storm is unlikely.”
The news comes after severe storms hit a holiday hotspot beloved by Brits.
Shocking footage showed water rushing through the streets of Sicily devastating the island and wrecking cars and infrastructure.
Sicily’s fourth largest town, Alcamo, was hit by 35mm of rain with huge lightning bolts being spotted in the skies.
The water flooded basements, garages and the ground floors of residents’ homes while sweeping away parked cars.
Emergency services were scrambled, as rescue crews worked to retrieve holidaymakers and residents from the floods.
