The first effects of Storm Éowyn were felt in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on Friday morning, where high winds brought large waves crashing onto the shore.

The winds were so strong that a rare red weather warning was given for parts of the Scotland and Northern Ireland. These warnings meant that people needed to shelter from the weather because it could be dangerous.

Storm Éowyn brought winds of more than 90mph to Northern Ireland - the highest gusts the country had seen in nearly thirty years.

All schools in Northern Ireland were closed and more than 200,000 homes were left without electricity, leaving thousands of homes and businesses without power. Workers say they are trying to get power back up and running as quickly as possible.

The effects of Storm Éowyn were also heavily felt in many parts of Scotland. A gust of 100.7mph was officially recorded at Drumalbin in South Lanarkshire on Friday afternoon.

Travel services were severely disrupted with a number of major roads closed and most train services cancelled, as this sign at Edinburgh's main train station shows.
