The Met Office warned of potential travel disruption in some areas earlier on Sunday

A yellow weather warning which brought strong winds to parts of Northern Ireland has ended.

The Met Office warned of large waves in coastal areas, possible delays for high-sided vehicles and potential disruption to air and sea travel.

Affected areas included the north coast, the Ards peninsula and northern inland parts of County Londonderry and County Antrim.

The warning was in force until 20:00 GMT on Sunday.

The latest wind warning closely followed two named storms which caused widespread damage last week.

Storm Isha arrived last Sunday, felling trees, causing power cuts for thousands of customers and disrupting broadband services.

Storm Jocelyn followed two days later, which interrupted repair efforts and caused further damage to road and electricity infrastructure.
