Already today one person has died and there have been other serious accidents as trees fell in Storm Erik. There has been disruption to road, ferry and rail services and wild conditions with the strong and gusty SW winds and heavy rain. Storm Erik isn't finished with the UK and Ireland just yet.

The slow moving low pressure continues to nudge NE wards overnight with bands of heavy rain, squally winds and hefty showers swirling around the storm.

The winds begin to veer from the SW to W then NW with a tuck of gales and higher gusts overnight for Co. Down, Isle of Man, Anglesey, Dumfries & Galloway and NW England up into the Pennines and Peak District.
