Another storm is making its approach throughout the UK with weather warnings for wind in place across Scotland and northern England.
Storm Ingunn, named by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, was categorised as a 'climate bomb' as its strain dropped at double the required price, bringing winds of greater than 100mph to the UK.
Gusts of 106mph have been recorded on the Aonach Mor mountain in Scotland at the moment, as well as 70mph on South Uist, 60mph at Stornoway and 46mph in Edinburgh.
Dozens of rail providers have been cancelled on Wednesday morning as a result of security considerations, whereas a variety of widespread points of interest together with Edinburgh Fort have been pressured to shut because of the high winds.
The Met Office has put in depth yellow climate warnings for wind in place, which cover the whole thing of Scotland, northern elements of Northern Ireland, and in all places north of Leeds in England.
The warning area masking Northern Ireland, England and southern Scotland is in place till 5pm on Wednesday, with the second warning masking the rest of Scotland in effect till 7pm.
A Met Workplace spokesperson explained: 'Very robust southwesterly winds will develop during Wednesday, easing again from the west later within the day.
'Gusts of 65-75mph are probably, with a couple of places maybe seeing gusts of up to 85mph at occasions.
'Over northwest Scotland these windy circumstances shall be accompanied by heavy rain for a time, through the morning and early afternoon.
'Winds will reach Northern Ireland and northern England by late morning or early afternoon.
'Gusts of 45-55mph are anticipated extensively with a number of places – probably hills and coastal areas – more likely to see gusts as much as 65mph.'
Storm Ingunn has been described as an 'distinctive storm' – and thankfully we aren't being hit with the worst of it, as 155mph gusts have been recorded by a weather station within the Faroe Islands earlier on Wednesday.
That's stronger than the winds in the course of the Nice Storm of 1987.
