The forecasting body said the storm, which left more than 60,000 homes without power, has moved on to the continent and is now affecting Scandinavia. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said it had restored power to more than 42,000 homes since the storm struck and was “confident” most of the homes still without power would have it restored by the end of Saturday. It added that a small number of homes in isolated and rural areas were likely to remain off-grid until Sunday evening “at the latest”. SSEN said it had sent food vans to the main areas still cut off from supply, which will serve food and drink until 9pm on Saturday.
