More than a million people in the UK were without power while many suffered significant travel disruption across the UK and Ireland following Storm Éowyn.
Moving into the remainder of the weekend, two yellow weather warnings for wind over Scotland and Northern Ireland are due to stay in place until Sunday morning, along with another yellow alert for snow and ice over Scotland.
Another yellow warning for rain, prompting fears of flooding, is expected to remain over parts of Wales until Monday night. Up to 80mm of rainfall is expected to fall on parts of the UK.

In Scotland, where winds of up to 100mph blasted across the country on Friday, the first minister called for people to be “patient” as work continued over the weekend to restore power and transport services.
By Saturday afternoon, SP Energy Networks had reconnected power for more than 192,000 of its customers in Scotland, but 28,000 were still cut off.
Storm damage means it could take “several days” to restore power.
Network Rail Scotland said nearly 400 “incidents of damage” had been identified including more than 120 reports of trees falling onto tracks.
Avanti West Coast said no trains were running between England and Scotland on Saturday, with its routes to and from Cumbria, Glasgow or Edinburgh all shut.
The scale of the damage means it will take many days before all customers have power restored, the firm said, adding that there were more than 4,000 locations where networks had been damaged by fallen trees.
