The UK is bracing for potential flooding as Storm Herminia moves in, following the aftermath of Storm Eowyn.

Storm Eowyn has been described as "probably the strongest storm" to hit the UK in over a decade, according to the Met Office, after it caused widespread damage and left hundreds of thousands without power.

Record-high winds from Storm Eowyn battered Ireland and Northern Ireland on Friday, leaving nearly one-third of Irish homes and businesses without power.

The second red warning issued by the Met Office has taken effect in Scotland as Storm Eowyn hit the United Kingdom.

Flights have been delayed, roads closed and ferry services cancelled as 100mph winds pose a danger to life in parts of the UK on Friday morning.

A rare red alert for "very strong" winds has been issued for parts of the UK ahead of Storm Eowyn.

Storm Éowyn, named by the Met Office, is set to bring severe gales to parts of the United Kingdom on Friday.
