9:33 am
disruption. could be ongoing with the strength of the wind. mother of tonight, blustery showers continue in the north and west, looking drier, temperatures round about three or 4 degrees so some frost for some of us but the next system arriving from the west and moving in early on tuesday. another spell of wet weather. the rain falling on saturated ground so we could see ongoing flooding problems and the wind is a picture on tuesday. 14 or 15 degrees, yellow warnings out for parts of scotland, northern ireland and england, so for my tuesday into wednesday, gusts could be as much as 70 miles an hour, not quite as strong as we have seen with storm isha but an
9:34 am
unsettled, windy spell of weather. no pressure looks like a case and eventually high pressure starts to move on but blustery showers in the north and west, quieter and further south. still reasonably mild for the time of year so a real change from last week, double figures for most of us. further ahead it stays unsettled, blustery, drierand unsettled, blustery, drier and quieter unsettled, blustery, drierand quieter in the south, more showers across the north of the uk but it looks like we have seen the strongest once and for but be prepared for blustery conditions late tuesday and into wednesday. just before you go, i remember being absolutely freezing this time last week and now it feels quite barmy in some respects. why have they gone from really cold to these warmer temperatures?— from really cold to these warmer temperatures? that is exactly what has happened. _ temperatures? that is exactly what has happened. a — temperatures? that is exactly what has happened, a really _ temperatures? that is exactly what has happened, a really cold - temperatures? that is exactly what has happened, a really cold plunge| temperatures? that is exactly what. has happened, a really cold plunge a bear but we also had a cold plunge of the other side of the atlantic,
9:35 am
really chilly in north america. when we see these cold plunge is of ever moving further south that can add rocket fuel to the jet stream so we get cold air meeting warmer air, that leads to thejet get cold air meeting warmer air, that leads to the jet stream becoming active and it is the jetstream that creates these areas of low pressure and storms and sends them to us so over the world is warming overall we will see these more extreme plunger of cold off which invigorate thejetstream and gives us more of the stormy conditions!— gives us more of the stormy conditions! �* ., ., ., ~ conditions! brilliant, sarah, thank ou so conditions! brilliant, sarah, thank you so much _ conditions! brilliant, sarah, thank you so much for— conditions! brilliant, sarah, thank you so much for that _ conditions! brilliant, sarah, thank you so much for that really - you so much for that really comprehensive roundup over what is happening now in the days ahead. if you want the latest forecast for your area, the best place to get thatis your area, the best place to get that is the bbc weather website or the bbc weather app, type in your postcode or location under the bed in the forecast for the next few days, a vital piece of information
9:36 am
from the bbc. let me show you some live feeds coming in, first of all in brighton. there is the sea front, you can see the waves and get them talking about how the storm, gusts of up to 99 miles an hour were recorded in northumberland, that has now passed but the winds coming in on the south coast at brighton. not too bad as we say because most of the wind has moved a robot as we saw parts of northern ireland and northern england and scotland have seen the strongest wins in 10—20 years so that is the picture in brighton but let's move further south, in cornwall. very picturesque. the sun rising in the background, casting that lovely shadow over porthleven. the waves
9:37 am
dying town as storm isha has passed through. but we are now seeing the impact of those storms and we've been talking about how the chains have been affected and also the power cuts but also flights are being hit. simon calder told us earlier they have been cancellations and as we have heard, some unusual diversions! tens of thousands of people bigging up tens of thousands of people bigging up this morning where they did not expect to be. there were also some chamois diversions, the short hop from manchester to dublin normally takes 30 minutes, except it could not land at dublin and was diverted to a small town in northern france. the thing is ryanair insists all
9:38 am
passengers crossing the irish sea have passports even though the law does not say they were allowed to get out of the airport and into hotels unlike the passengers on easyjet flight 319 which took off shortly after 4pm from edinburgh going to bristol, an easy one, hop but a over the river seven for 30 minutes on diverted to charles de gaulle airport in paris. 0f minutes on diverted to charles de gaulle airport in paris. of course for a domestic flight you do not need a passport and loads of passengers on it spent the night at the terminal, they are not allowed into france without identification, some of them had their passports, the eu and national id cards they could get to a hotel but the rest of them were waiting there until somebody could take them across to bristol or edinburgh and we have loads of cancellations today. worst hit is heathrow, lots of early flights to places like frankfurt,
9:39 am
amsterdam, istanbul, halifax and canada cancelled because the planes could not get it yesterday and british airways has 22 cancellations in and out of heathrow today and on top of that, 16 cancellations at london city airport which had a dreadful time yesterday. most of the other airports looking 0k apart from the scottish ones. lots of problems yesterday, edinburgh and glasgow, the odd cancellation and if you are flying on loganair, the alliances a couple of cancellations to edinburgh and aberdeen and you will be able to postpone your journey until and aberdeen and you will be able to postpone yourjourney until later in the week to be slightly more certain. ., ., , the week to be slightly more certain. . ., , ,, ., the week to be slightly more certain. . ,, ., ., certain. that was simon calder with the latest on _ certain. that was simon calder with the latest on the _ certain. that was simon calder with the latest on the aeroplanes - certain. that was simon calder with the latest on the aeroplanes and i certain. that was simon calder with | the latest on the aeroplanes and we mentioned earlier one of the biggest places to be had was northern ireland and the bbc news page has just updated with a report from our

colleague kieran mcauley. tens of thousands of homes without power, 1000 obstructions reported across the road network since yesterday and trees, majortourist the road network since yesterday and trees, major tourist attractions including the dark ages made famous by game of thrones, amongst those to have had trees come down under the wind. there is a clear up operation but and this is quite crucial in northern ireland, it will take a lot longer than normal because road workers are on strike. officials responsible for the roads say they have implemented contingency plans including using private contractors and staff not on strike. we were talking about the air with simon, thenis talking about the air with simon, then is returning to normal at the airports in belfast, and the city of derry airport but there is that knock—on effect because of the problems yesterday which saw some northern ireland bound flights ending up in manchester, liverpool
9:41 am
and as we heard even in paris. dublin airport in the republic of ireland reporting its operations or returning to normal although 29 flights have been cancelled so far today. that is the latest from the bbc news life page and as i see lots of information from across the country and the latest post from our colleagues at bbc northern ireland. everyone up across the bbc network of reporters inputting the information into that page and you can see videos and updates across the day as we get a clearer picture of the areas impacted by the storm. if you have the bbc news website on your phone you can access it there as well as your desktop pc. sound is in worthing for us, tell us the situation. figs

9:51 am
climbing up the powerlines to restore them. the energy companies and providers say some homes might not have power restored until later on tomorrow afternoon. maybe about four or 5pm. on tomorrow afternoon. maybe about four or5pm. but on tomorrow afternoon. maybe about four or 5pm. but another thing we have not spoken about is the flood risks and warnings that are in place across the uk. around 85 in place, most of them in scotland. but as well as the heavy rain caused by storm isha, more floodwater come about because of all the snow we had last week has been melting and adding to the excess floodwater so that's something else to think about. all the problems with flooding and floodwater around the uk. we've been hearing from farmers as well today. farmers at this time of year thinking about their cereal

9:53 am
advice that they offer before you think about heading out of your front door and jumping into your car orjumping onto a train. but we heard earlierfrom our correspondent in scotland that things there are beginning to normal. very slowly. a train dear to leave scotland for easton the next 20 minutes or so but it will take some time things get back to normal. lots of trees and debris on the lines, blocking roads. we had trampolines, reports of greenhouses, glasshouses. sheds falling onto the line so it will take some time to clear those items from the roads on the railways and once they are cleared, it's not as simple as the train services starting again because the rail operators must make sure there will lines are completely safe and what that means is they have to run a proven train along the line to make
9:54 am
sure it's completely safe before they start running trains again and on the rain tarmac roads, it will take some time for a risky choice and other agencies to come along and remove the tree trunks and branches so it will take some time before things get back to normal but storm isha has made her way across the uk and is now moving into the north sea. thing is getting back to normal but slowly. for sea. thing is getting back to normal but slowl . ., ., ., ~ but slowly. for the moment, thank ou. let's but slowly. for the moment, thank you- let's show — but slowly. for the moment, thank you. let's show you _ but slowly. for the moment, thank you. let's show you some - but slowly. for the moment, thank you. let's show you some pictures| you. let's show you some pictures from the bbc news helicopter over london at the moment, focusing in on some train lines that charlie was mentioning. train travel has been hit and there has been a 50 mile and a lament in operation across the entire network and that is because even though some of the lines may seem to be open, it could be that a chilly fall so there is debris that falls onto the lawn so all of the
9:55 am
trains going at 50 miles an hour at the moment. multiple trees have fallen on the line between vettel and tonbridge so no trains running between those locations because of a number of trees on the railway on the facts of an rain that runs that railway line or having to send out crews to help remove the tree so it's not a quick and easy operation. thameslink had a trampoline on the line between venom and chilling today. because of that, services be disrupted, the trembling slightly easier to remove than some of the trees that have fallen down. we mentioned scotrail being one of the areas particularly badly hit. scotrail telling our colleagues on bbc radio scotland that train services are expected to reopen gradually between late morning and
9:56 am
early afternoon but the crucial thing is all services will remain suspended until network rail has inspected all the roads across the country for safety reasons. we have been looking at the picture over london but let's go to cornwall. we have had the live view of porthleven. you see the waves crashing into the most southerly port in the country but as we heard from sarah keith lucas o'neill, the strong winds have passed over but on those strong winds, overnight costs between 70 and 80 miles an hour recorded across large parts of the north and west of the country including the central belt of scotland. the strongest wind gust report was 99 miles an hour at wesley board in northumberland. also we had 90 miles an hour at capper clinic in snowdonia, then it is all patrick weather centre on the isle
9:57 am
of wight saw 86 miles an hour and in cumbria it was 82 degrees. here is carol with the weather. hello again. we've seen quite a bit of disruption because of storm isha which is pulling into the norwegian sea but we have some strong gusts of wind, n o we have some strong gusts of wind, n 0 rick 90 miles an hour, personal vote in northumberland, 99 miles an hour, and in edinburgh at 74 miles an hour, and for the rest of today it's windy, they still make the wind moderates and we are looking at and blustery showers. you can tell from the i suppose that it is windy, the shower is continuing, some of them wintry in the mountains of scotland but you could hear the odd rumble of thunder but there will also be sunshine. going through the afternoon, temperatures peaking at around i! in the south, seven or eight in the north so it will be a
9:58 am
