The Met Office yellow warning has been extended until midday today and people have been warned to expect more disruption. The entire country was subject to wind warnings overnight as gusts topped 90mph in places. Gusts reached 69mph on the north Norfolk coast at around 10pm. If there are more named storms between next week and August, this year will beat the record held by 2015/16. Each storm is named when it poses a risk to people and they are given names with consecutive letters of the alphabet.
