independent.co.uk — October 21, 2024, 08:01 AM UTC

Summary: Storm Ashley has caused over 100 flood warnings across the UK, with a yellow wind alert in place for parts of Scotland and north-east England. The storm has led to power outages affecting tens of thousands of homes.

The Environment Agency reported 45 flood warnings in England, particularly in Cornwall and along the River Severn. In Scotland, 47 warnings were issued, while eight were reported in Wales.

Roads in northern England have reopened after closures due to strong winds. The Met Office predicts winds will ease, but unsettled weather with possible heavy rain and strong winds may return later in the week.
