What should I do?

Further details
Storm Helene is expected to move northeastwards across the British Isles
later Monday and early Tuesday before clearing into the northern North Sea
by early Tuesday morning. A spell of strong winds is expected, initially
mainly in the far southwest of England and across western Wales. The
strongest winds then transfer northwards to be over northern England and,
perhaps, the far south of Scotland, during the early hours of Tuesday. Winds
are likely to gust into the 40s or low 50s mph quite widely across the
warning area. Meanwhile, in some Irish Sea coastal areas, most likely in
Wales and northwest England, gusts to 55-65 mph are likely with possible
isolated gusts in excess of 70 mph in the most exposed places. High gusts in
the 50s or low 60s mph area also possible over high ground in northern
England during the early hours of Tuesday.
