Storm Ciara has hit Cheshire and is already causing a number of disruptions.
Strong winds are widespread and will last throughout most of Sunday. Gusts of 60 to 70mph are likely across many inland areas and around 80mph in exposed coastal areas. A spell of heavy rain will affect many regions for a time, making driving conditions particularly poor.
