An extended yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office covering the whole of England and Wales remains in place throughout Sunday until 6pm for winds from Storm Darragh.
Storm Darragh will be moving away from the UK through Sunday but will continue to leave a legacy of strong north to northeasterly winds across much of England and Wales.
Winds will quite widely gust to 35-45 mph inland but locally could gust in excess of 50 mph, especially over higher ground. Around coasts, winds will gust to 50-60 mph, perhaps locally nearer 70 mph during the morning. The wind may cause disruption to travel, with difficult driving conditions likely. Winds will very slowly ease from the north through the day.
The A66 reopened to traffic on Saturday evening but other roads including the A6 between Shap and Kendal remains closed due to fallen trees.
Westmorland and Furness council have said “Public Safety is our priority - please respect any road closures that are in place - they are there for your safety.”
