Gales and blizzards have been reported, with wind gusts reaching 86mph at Aberdaron in Gwynedd. While, 3,200 homes in north-east Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have lost power.
As per reports, about 360 homes are still without power in the North East of England.
Flood warnings have been issued in 28 places across the UK for Wednesday, including in Sunderland, Bournemouth, Aberystwyth and Orkney.
The metrological department issued weather warnings—including a yellow warning for wind covering all of England and Wales, as well as south-west and east Scotland.
A yellow warning for wind for parts of south and south-west England, as well as the east coast and south of Wales is still in place - lasting until 18:00 GMT on Wednesday.
In the meantime, strong winds with gusts of up to 80mph were recorded in the Republic of Ireland.
