Storm Isha in Yorkshire live: Traffic and travel updates as Storm Isha brings 70mph winds to Yorkshire

Storm Isha has well and truly hit Yorkshire over the weekend and into this Monday morning.

The Met Office has reported that winds as high as 76mph have been recorded in Yorkshire.

The A66 has been closed after high winds from Storm Isha blew over ‘several lorries’.

The road is closed in both directions between Scotch Corner and the M6 following the high winds, National Highways said.

The agency, which looks after major roads and motorways in Yorkshire and beyond, said: "There are also several overturned lorries which will require recovery before the road can be reopened. Vehicles travelling across the Pennines are advised to plan ahead and consider alternate routes.”

Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said: “We’re expecting widespread gales to affect the UK, amber warnings are in place for large parts of the country.

“There’s the potential for danger-to-life and damaging winds potentially leading to some power cuts in places, some large waves around coastal regions could bring some debris onto roads and trees could come down.”

He added: “We have a wind warning in place across the whole of the UK, it’s pretty unusual for the whole of the country to be under a blanket wind warning.”

The Met Office said “everybody” has been affected by the storm.

Network Rail has imposed 50mph speed restrictions across most routes to keep passengers and trains safe from falling trees and debris blown onto tracks, with disruption likely to continue into Monday morning.

East Midlands Railway has said delays and alterations to its services were “likely”, while no LNER trains will run north of Newcastle until midday.

Flights are also set to be affected today.

National Air Traffic Services (Nats) said: “Due to adverse weather conditions across the UK, temporary air traffic restrictions are in place. Restrictions of this sort are only every applied to maintain safety.

“Our teams are working closely with airports and airlines to minimise disruption. Passengers should check the status of their flight with their airline.”

This is how windy it's been in Yorkshire!

Trains are starting to get back to normal following the high winds overnight.

Network Rail said it expects train services in Scotland to remain suspended until around noon after “a wild night”.

A spokesman said: “The railway has recovered quickly this morning following Storm Isha with trees and debris cleared across routes in England and Wales, and route proving trains reporting lines clear.

“Passenger and freight services have restarted and a good service is expected in most areas. Passengers should still check before they head out for the latest travel news on trains operators’ websites.

“The exception is Scotland where we do not expect to be able to restart services until around midday with dozens of lines shut due to fallen trees and flooding."

The yellow weather warning is in place until noon today.

Here's what the Met Office says we should expect:

Across the country, thousands of people have been left without power as Storm Isha brought disruption to the electricity and transport networks across the UK. ESB Networks reported more than 170,000 properties in Ireland were without power, while Electricity North West said crews had been stood down due to the conditions, with almost 8,000 homes losing power. Yorkshire doesn't appear to be affected at the moment.

As well as the winds, there are also flood warnings in place.

The river Ure at Boroughbridge and Masham is expected to flood, and so is the upper catchment of the river Hull, as well as the Hull at Hempholme.

There are also flood alerts in place for the Swale, Calder, Tees, Wharfe, Aire and Nidd.
