Storm Chandra, the third named storm of the current season, has been named for impact on Tuesday.

The system will bring severe gales with gusts of up to 75 mph in coastal areas of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Strong, blustery conditions also spread more widely.

Rainfall accumulation levels reached 100 mm at White Barrow, South Dartmoor overnight while widespread flood warnings have been issued.

In Ottery Saint Mary, Devon, the River Otter reached a record high as rain fell in the night, but is now dropping.

Flights and ferries were also cancelled across the UK due to the gales.

The stormy conditions will be relatively short-lived, with conditions mostly calming again by Wednesday.
