Tens of thousands of homes lost power after Storm Ashley hit the UK and Ireland over the weekend. A yellow weather warning for wind was in place for parts of Scotland until Monday morning. Flood warnings were issued across England, Scotland, and Wales, with areas like Cornwall and the River Severn at risk. Strong winds caused road closures and flight cancellations, including in Dublin and Belfast. Power outages affected up to 53,000 homes. Storm Ashley is expected to weaken, but more heavy rain and winds are likely later this week.
