Children in Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire: "The weather's stopping us going to school"

Storm Ciara has caused problems all over the UK.

Heavy rainfall and high winds have damaged people's homes, triggered power cuts and caused flights, trains and sports fixtures to be cancelled.

Many people have also had to leave their homes because of flooding and some are still left without power.

A number of schools have closed because of flooding or damage caused by the storm.

Weather warnings are still in place for areas across the UK.

What is a weather warning?

The Met Office has different types of weather warnings to make sure that people stay safe when severe weather hits the UK.

This can include heavy rain, snow, wind, fog and ice.

The warnings have different colours depending on how bad - and potentially dangerous - the weather is. These are yellow, amber and red.
