Are you affected by storm Ophelia? How have you been affected by storm Ophelia?
(1 day later)
Storm Ophelia is expected to bring strong winds and disruption to much of Ireland, Northern Ireland and parts of the UK on Monday. Three people died and there was widespread disruption on Monday as storm Ophelia ripped through Ireland.
A red warning has been issued in Ireland and an amber warning in Northern Ireland, and all schools and colleges have been closed. With the storm now causing disruption further east into Wales, northern England and Scotland, and recovery operations underway in Ireland, we would like to know how the storm and its aftermath has affected you and the area you live.
Ireland’s weather service, Met Éireann, warned on Sunday night that lives could be in danger when Ophelia makes landfall some time after 10am on the country’s Atlantic coast, with winds of up to 100mph. The storm is expected to track over Scotland into the early hours of Tuesday. A yellow warning for winds of up 70mph will remain in place for the south-east of Scotland and parts of north-east England until 3pm on Tuesday, and around 245,000 homes remain without power in Ireland, but airports have reopened and rail services have resumed in some places.
