Meanwhile, it says roads, bridges and railway lines are likely to close, with delays and cancellations to bus, train, ferry services and flights - and there is a good chance that there could be power cuts - possibly prolonged - and disruption to other services such as mobile phone coverage.
The Met Office added that falling branches and some uprooted trees are also likely.
It said: "Extremely strong winds may develop over southwest England early on Friday, before spreading north and east during the day.
