Storm Eowyn was “probably the strongest” to hit the UK in at least a decade, according to the Met Office – and in some areas was the most intense in “20 or 30 years”.

But don’t expect settled weather because Storm Eowyn has gone, Sky News meteorologist Dr Chris England warned.

“The Spanish-named Storm Herminia will bring heavy rain, gales and hill snow up from the South West on Sunday and on Monday,” he said.

“It won’t be as windy as Friday, but with trees and structures already damaged in places, there’s a greater risk than normal with a storm of this intensity.”

Latest weather updates

More than a million people in the UK were left without power, and there was significant travel disruption across the UK and Ireland.

On Friday, a 100mph gust was recorded at Drumalbin in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, and parts of Ireland had the highest windspeeds since records began, getting up to 114mph in Mace Head, County Galway.

As of around 5pm on Saturday, SP Energy Networks in Scotland said 28,000 customers were still cut off.

In Northern Ireland, 140,000 homes and businesses remained without power and across the Republic of Ireland, around 460,000 had no power.

A Cobra meeting was held on Saturday to discuss Storm Eowyn and the government will “stand ready to provide further support”, a spokesperson said.

Engineers have been dispatched to Northern Ireland and Scotland, they said.

Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney has appealed for “patience” as work is carried out to restore power supplies and transport services in the storm’s aftermath.

On Friday, people all over Scotland were urged to stay indoors to avoid injury in hurricane-force winds, as a rare Met Office red weather warning was issued for much of the south of the country.

Among the buildings affected was a Co-op store in Scotland which collapsed on Friday after Storm Eowyn passed through Denny, Falkirk.

Man killed by falling tree

A man who died in County Donegal after a tree fell on his car during the storm has been named as 20-year-old Kacper Dudek. The incident happened around 5.30am on Friday at Feddyglass in Raphoe.

Police forensic collision investigators are carrying out a full examination of the scene.

What’s the forecast like for the next few days?

Although the storm has now cleared the UK, it will remain windy in the coming days, with “numerous yellow wind warnings” in place, the Met Office said.

Saturday into Sunday

A yellow warning for snow and ice runs from 6pm on Saturday to 10am on Sunday and covers large parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, with a yellow wind warning from 6pm on Saturday to 6am on Sunday for the Highlands and Strathclyde.

Sunday

A yellow wind warning has been issued for parts of North West England, South West England, Northern Ireland, Wales and southwest Scotland, running from 8am until 3pm on Sunday.

“Winds are likely to gust 50 to 60mph quite widely, and around some exposed coasts and hills, gusts to 70mph are possible,” forecasters said.

Also, a yellow warning for heavy rain which may lead to local flooding will be in place from 8am on Sunday until 6am on Monday.

The warning was issued on Thursday and covers the East Midlands, West Midlands, North West England, South West England, East of England, London, South East England and Wales.

“Quite widely, 10-20mm will fall, with locally nearer 30-50mm over high ground,” said the Met Office.

Monday

For the start of the week, a yellow wind warning lasting from 6am on Monday to 6am on Tuesday has been issued covering the East of England, London and the South East, and the South West as well as much of Wales.

Gusts of 60 or 70mph are possible near the coast, with potential gusts of 50mph inland, said the Met Office.

Some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will probably be affected by spray or large waves.

The agency added that some disruption to transport and short-term power outages were likely.

There is also a yellow warning for heavy rain from 6am to 11.59pm on Monday that could bring “some disruption and flooding” in the West Midlands and much of Wales.

Bus and rail services will likely be affected and spray and flooding on roads will probably increase journey times, the Met Office said.

Flooding of “a few homes and businesses” is likely, as is “some interruption to power supplies and other services”.

Heavy rain means 20mm-40mm will probably fall “fairly widely” while higher ground could see 50-70mm.

Donald Trump has said he thinks Sir Keir Starmer has “done a very good job” so far and said the pair will speak over the phone “over the next 24 hours”.

The US president said he and the prime minister “get along well” despite Sir Keir being “liberal, which is a little bit different from me”.

“But I think he’s a very good person,” Mr Trump said. “I think he’s done a very good job thus far.

“He’s represented his country in terms of his philosophy. I may not agree with his philosophy but I have a very good relationship with him.”

Sir Keir previously met Mr Trump for dinner at Trump Tower in New York in September, before he was elected president for a second time, and has held two pre-inauguration calls with him.

Mr Trump told reporters on Air Force One that his first international trip could be to the UK, or Saudi Arabia – the first country he travelled to as president during his first term.

The US president said “traditionally it could be UK”, but last time he travelled to Saudi Arabia because it agreed to buy billions of dollars of US merchandise.

“If that offer were right, I’d do that again,” he said.

Mr Trump’s warm remarks about Sir Keir were at odds with those of billionaire Elon Musk, who has played a starring role in his second presidency so far, and has repeatedly called for the prime minister to be replaced.

Trump reverses Biden’s halt on 2,000lb bombs for Israel

Mr Trump also said he had instructed the US military to reverse an order from former president Joe Biden halting the supply of heavy 2,000lb bombs to Israel.

“They paid for them and they’ve been waiting for them for a long time,” Mr Trump said about the munitions.

Mr Biden had paused delivery of the bombs to Israel over concerns about the impact they could have on civilians during Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.

Trump says Egypt and Jordan should take more Palestinians from Gaza

Mr Trump also said Egypt and Jordan should take more Palestinians from Gaza and when asked if it was a temporary or long-term suggestion, he replied: “Could be either.”

Speaking of his call to Jordan’s King Abdullah on Saturday, the president said: “I said to him I’d love you to take on more because I’m looking at the whole Gaza Strip right now and it’s a mess, it’s a real mess. I’d like him to take people.”

“I’d like Egypt to take people,” he added, saying he would speak to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi on Sunday.

He said the Palestinian enclave was “literally a demolition site, almost everything is demolished and people are dying there”, adding: “So I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing at a different location where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”

President fires inspectors general at several agencies

Mr Trump also confirmed he had fired 17 independent inspectors general at several government agencies and said he would “put good people in there that will be very good”.

Inspectors generally act as an independent check on mismanagement and abuse of power inside US government agencies, and while they are appointed by the president, they are expected to be nonpartisan and some serve presidents from both parties.

It comes after the US State Department ordered a freeze on new funding for almost all American foreign development assistance following an executive order issued by Mr Trump.

Terrorist material viewed by Southport attacker Axel Rudakubana could inspire another atrocity unless tech companies take action, the home secretary has warned.

In a letter seen by Sky News to TikTok, X, Meta and Google, Yvette Cooper and technology secretary Peter Kyle warned the potential consequences of leaving dangerous content online have been “laid bare”.

This week, the court heard how Rudakubana “easily” downloaded an al Qaeda training manual and watched graphic footage of a terrorist knife attack in the hours before he murdered three young girls.

The manual remains available online, despite its inclusion in a Home Office list of illegal material that “may be useful to an individual preparing to carry out an act of mass violence or terrorism”, the letter said.

Graphic footage showing the stabbing of Sydney bishop Mari Emmanuel also remains available in the UK despite being removed by authorities in Australia.

The home and technology secretaries asked the companies to “swiftly remove any unlawful material on this list available on your services, including the material used by Axel Rudakubana”.

“The ease of access to such dangerous, illegal content is unacceptable,” the ministers wrote.

From March, companies will have to remove illegal content, including violent material, from their platforms under the new Online Safety Act.

From the summer, they’ll also have to take action on content that is inappropriate for children.

The two ministers told the tech giants they have a “moral responsibility” to take action on this content now.

“There is no justification for waiting for laws to kick in,” they said.

Axel Rudakubana received the second-longest life sentence in English history on Thursday after pleading guilty in court.

The 18-year-old was jailed for life with a minimum of 52 years for the murder of Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, in July last year at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.
