A yellow weather warning remains in place for today, with more high winds predicted.

The Met Office said a swathe of very strong winds reached Northern Ireland later last night in association with Storm Franklin.

These very strong winds will spread to many other western, central and southern areas of the UK overnight and early Monday, with gusts widely 50-60mph, while west facing coastal districts will see gusts of 65-75mph and perhaps 80mph briefly near north coast of Northern Ireland. Winds will ease steadily from the northwest during the remainder of Monday.

It is estimated that winds will ease by 1pm.

Schools closed

Six are schools closed in Cumbria following the weekend storms.

The following schools are closed this morning:

  • Hawkshead Esthwaite Primary School
  • John Ruskin School, Coniston
  • Millom Infant School
  • St Benedict’s Catholic High School, Whitehaven

Stagecoach has issued updates for its bus services this morning so far:

  • London Road is now back open so all our services will be running as normal.
  • Due to a fallen tree, it is unable to serve Thornthwaite on its X5 services.

Northern says that due to severe weather fewer trains are able to run on some lines. Train services running across the whole Northern network will be cancelled, delayed or suspended. It is advising customers not to travel across the Northern network.

Services are unable to run between Workington and Carlisle due to flooding on the railway at Aspatria. Road transport will be run between these stations.

Check your route here.

Avanti West Coast says services on its network are subject to speed restrictions, delays and cancellations due to the extreme weather and as a result are very busy.

Tickets from Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be accepted for travel today and tomorrow.

TransPennine Express says the disruption caused by severe weather at Preston has now ended.

Tickets from Friday 18, Saturday 19 and Sunday 20, will be accepted for travel today and tomorrow or a full refund can be obtained at https://tpexpress.co.uk/help/refunds and there will be no admin fee for this.
