Forecasters have warned the worst weather is still to come as strong winds and heavy rain from Storm Jocelyn continue to batter the UK, causing major travel disruption for commuters.

Flights have been cancelled and trains suspended, with the storm expected to be at its worst in the early hours of Wednesday. The strongest winds of up to 80mph are expected between 3am and 7am. 

The Met Office said weather warnings could therefore be extended through rush hour.

It comes after eight flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport and four at Glasgow Airport on Tuesday evening. Train services in Scotland were suspended from 7pm and drivers were warned to postpone their journeys.

Thousands of people are suffering power outages, while flooding is affecting parts of York.

Elsewhere, a search is taking place at Porthcawl, south Wales, after a person was reported to be in the sea just before 6pm on Tuesday.
