Stome Katie has battered the UK with strong gales ranging from 50 to 100mph bringing a miserable end to the Easter bank holiday weekend.
Flights arriving at all major airports have been disrupted and some have had to be diverted to due to high winds and some major roads were closed overnight because of the stormy conditions.
Gusts of 103mph battered Needles, off the coast of the Isle of Wight, in the early hours of this morning as winds continue to push northeastwards and onto the North sea throughout the day.
Other parts of the country saw winds of more than 70mph, including the Isle of Portland, Berry Head,South West and Thorney Island.
