The Met Office say a yellow warning for wind might see "more widespread" impact than usual given Storm Eowyn recovery efforts

Storm Éowyn was "probably the strongest storm" to hit the UK in at least 10 years, the Met Office has said, with wind gusts in excess of 100mph (160km/h).

The Met Office has issued fresh yellow weather warnings for snow, ice and strong winds in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland as Storm Eowyn continues to batter Britain.

As the clean-up from Eowyn continued, Ireland's ESB Networks said it had restored power to 366,000 homes, farms and businesses by Saturday evening but that 402,000 still had no electricity. In Northern Ireland, approximately 140,000 homes remained without power by late afternoon, said electricity provider, NIE Networks.

The Met Office recommends keeping essentials such as warm clothes, food, and water in cars due to the likelihood of travel delays.

A weather warning for snow and ice has been issued by the Met Office covering the whole of Northern Ireland. It comes into force at 7pm on Friday, January 24, and will remain in place until Saturday, January 25, at 10am. It comes as a red warning for wind due to Storm Eowyn is in force across the region on Friday until 2pm.

Ireland's national weather service says the country has seen 114 mph wind gusts, the highest ever recorded on the island.

Storm Éowyn is bringing destructive winds to northwestern parts of the UK as it moves in, Red Weather Warnings are in force for Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland.

Northern Ireland has been battered by severe weather conditions this week, and that weather outlook is set to continue throughout the weekend. A new weather warning for ice and snow has been issued by the Met Office this morning,
