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.
