Hurricane Gonzalo: Disruption as remnants of storm hit UK
Rain and high winds are causing travel disruption, as the remnants of Hurricane Gonzalo hit the UK.
Gusts of up to 70mph have been recorded in north Wales and the Isle of Wight, and a Met Office wind warning is in place for much of the UK.
Some flights have been cancelled at Heathrow, but other airports are reporting no major problems.
Forecasters said gales would move east across the UK, with heavy rain in some areas and snow on some Scottish hills.
BBC Weather's Carol Kirkwood said the wind could be strong enough to do "slight structural damage" to properties, as well as uprooting small trees and causing branches to fall.
She said the strongest winds on Tuesday morning would be in western Scotland, the north and east of Northern Ireland, north-west England and north Wales.
Some drivers are facing disruption on the roads due to fallen trees and high winds, and there are delays and cancellations on many ferry services.
