More than 160 flood warnings remain in place for England and Wales post-Darragh, with damages now being apparent.

Two days on from the storm's arrival, more than 41,000 properties remain without power according to National Grid and Scottish Power across Wales. Around 395,000 properties lost power across Ireland.

Schools remain closed due to fallen trees blocking access in parts of southern and central Wales, where winds were at their strongest.

Two people have been confirmed to have passed away during the storm. Both struck by falling trees, one in Birmingham and another in Lancashire.

A fundraiser has been started to help pay for repairs to Llandudno Pier, where fixtures were badly damaged, including a unit that had been in place for 148 years.

Peak wind gusts reached 96 mph at Berry Head, Devon, with a high of 87 mph (141 km/h) recorded at Mace Head, Galway.

Wind warnings are now limited to coastal areas of England, though flood warnings stretch across England and parts of Wales. Check with the UK Flood alerts and warnings service and National Resources Wales for more details.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
