Gusts of up to 70mph were experienced around exposed coastal areas in the west, with winds in inland areas reaching between 50-60mph, particularly in northern England, and Ireland bearing the brunt of the storm’s impact. The Met Office had issued further weather warnings for Sunday evening, covering the whole of England and Wales.
