Britain's western coast is being lashed by strong winds and heavy rain following a month of unusually frequent winter storms.
A steady procession of storms has battered the island nation over the past few weeks, making December the windiest since 1969.
Monster waves up to eight metres high washed across the British coast on Monday, prompting evacuations and rescues.
The nearly non-stop storms have crumbled long-standing sea cliffs and damaged waterfronts.
"It's been one after the other with no break," Nicola Maxey, a spokeswoman for Britain's Meteorological Office, said on Tuesday.
More than 100 flood warnings remain across England and Wales.
Heavy winds and rain have also battered the French coast, driving large waves into southwestern town of Biarritz on Tuesday.
