Storm Jocelyn has brought more disruption to the UK caused by strong winds and heavy rain just days after the arrival of storm Isha, external.
Yellow weather warnings for wind will continue into Wednesday afternoon for the majority of the nation, weather forecasters at the Met Office said.
Thousands of homes have been affected by power cuts, and parts of York have been flooded, following yellow weather warnings for rain on Tuesday.
Storm Jocelyn is the 10th named storm since September.
Where will Storm Jocelyn hit?
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind across Northern Ireland, Scotland, northern Wales and north-west England until Wednesday afternoon.
During this time, a rarer amber warning for wind is also in place for the fringes of western and northern Scotland.
National Rail says no services will run in Scotland during rush hour on Wednesday morning due to extreme weather from Storm Jocelyn.
Flood warnings
In York, parts of the city have flooded and more is expected as water levels on the River Ouse are already very high, and are set to rise further.
There are 21 flood warnings across England and 38 in Scotland.
Parts of the UK are still trying to recover from the damage caused by Storm Isha, which was the biggest storm of the season so far.
Thousands of homes across the UK are still without power after winds reached gusts of up to 97mph.
It's thought the wind won't quite be as strong on Wednesday but there's a risk of 80mph gusts in the north and west of Scotland that might strengthen into the night.
