Ireland called in help from England and France as repair crews worked to restore power to hundreds of thousands of people after the most disruptive storm for years. Even as the cleanup continued, more wet and windy weather hit the U.

Tens of thousands of homes in Ireland lost power on Friday as winds of 183 kilometres per hour lashed the country's western coast. Météo France has warned that Storm Eowyn will cause heavy rainfall

Storm Eowyn caused havoc Friday as it battered Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland, killing one person and leaving hundreds of thousands of homes without power, flights grounded and schools

Met Office weather warnings are in place across the UK today as the Spanish named Storm Herminia arrives in the UK and Ireland. The Met Office has warned the damage could be more widespread due to the impact of Storm Eowyn.

The British government refused a bid by unionist parties in Northern Ireland to exempt the region from some European Union rules, a move that risks angering groups who favor stronger ties with the rest of the UK.

Technicians from England and France are set to help restore power to homes and businesses across Ireland following Storm Eowyn. More than 300,000 remain without power across Ireland following record-setting wind speeds.

A human rights organisation is taking legal action against Northern Ireland's regional government for failing to meet a nearly 20-year-old statutory obligation to develop an anti-poverty strategy.

Storm Herminia has brought wind and heavy rain to much of Wales and southern England, with a major incident being declared in Somerset. More than 100 people have been evacuated in the south-western county following flooding in the early hours of Monday, as well as power cuts across the region.

Up to 100,000 people could be without power for over a week, according to ESB Networks. Power has been restored to 438,000 homes, farms, and businesses so far as the repair operation continues following record-breaking wind speeds on Friday. However, 330,000 customers remain without supply.
