This Christmas saw severe weather delays as numerous services were cancelled across the country.

As of today (December 27th) the Environmental Agency has 160 flood alerts, indicating a possible incident, and 52 warnings, which suggest heavy water is expected.

Winds of up to 100 miles per hour mean it is unsafe for many services to run. In other instances, such as with rail, the damage on the tracks means trains are unable to get to their destinations.

According to the organisation's managing director of network operations Robin Gisby, the rain made much of the damage worse than the storms experienced at the start of the month.

Speaking on Christmas Eve, he said: "With more [than] 200 trees brought down over the past 24 hours and a further 100 major incidents discovered on top of that, our engineers have been out all night and all this morning clearing tracks, making sure everything is safe, before restarting services."

Aside from the impact to road and rail infrastructure, many planes were cancelled or altered as a result of the storms. In Dublin Airport, for instance, six flights were diverted due to the strong winds.
