Storm Jocelyn has been moving across the UK - days after Storm Isha hit and left at least two people dead.
Tuesday was marked by heavy rain in parts, with strong gusts across much of the country on Wednesday morning.
The strongest gust so far, 97mph, was recorded in Capel Curig, north Wales, while in Scotland trains stopped running at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, thousands of homes have been affected by power cuts, and parts of York have been flooded.
Also on Tuesday evening, eight flights were cancelled at Dublin Airport and four were also cancelled at Glasgow Airport.
Tuesday night saw gusts of 60-80mph in north Wales, northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland, which may have led to some trees, branches or debris falling on roads, said BBC Weather.
While Storm Jocelyn will continue to move away from the UK during Wednesday, strong to gale force winds will still affect many northern areas, especially through the morning - winds will only gradually ease off through the day.
The Met Office has issued warnings for wind covering much of the country until Wednesday afternoon.
The strongest winds were expected in exposed parts of northern and western Scotland, and the area was covered by a Met Office amber wind warning until 08:00 on Wednesday.
The Met Office has issued the following weather warnings:
- An amber warning for wind for the fringes of western and northern Scotland in place until 08:00 on Wednesday
- A yellow warning for wind across the whole of Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern Wales and north-west England until 13:00 on Wednesday
- A yellow warning for wind for south Wales, the Midlands and north-east England from 12:00 on Tuesday until 15:00 on Wednesday
Storm Jocelyn has arrived shortly after Storm Isha left two people dead and one seriously injured on Monday.
Elsewhere, a search involving coastguard crews, a helicopter and RNLI lifeboats, for a person reported to be in the sea at Porthcawl, south Wales, was suspended early on Wednesday.
The coastguard said a decision on further action would be made at first light.
Both Isha and Jocelyn have disrupted the journeys of many road, rail and air travellers.
Suspended ScotRail trains will not restart until later on Wednesday morning, or into the afternoon, the operator said.
Phil Campbell, ScotRail's customer operations director, said the company was aware of some damage overnight and that the picture would become clearer as inspections were carried out in daylight.
"When it's safe to do so routes will open and any remedial work that's required they will carry out this morning," he told BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland programme, urging customers to check for updates before travelling.
The train company said each route would need to undergo a safety inspection before trains are able to run due to the risk of trees and other debris falling onto the track.
TransPennine Express, which runs services between northern England and Scotland, is advising customers not to travel until noon on Wednesday on its Preston to Glasgow and Preston to Edinburgh routes.
Avanti West Coast's last London to Glasgow service departed at 15:30 on Tuesday. The train company said its services to and from Scotland would be cancelled until at least midday on Wednesday.
In Northern Ireland, power has been restored to 50,000 homes, impacted by Storm Isha, leaving 3,000 customers without electricity, according to NIE Networks.
Elsewhere in the UK, Electricity North West said power has been restored to 96% of customers affected by Storm Isha.
"Fallen trees, branches and debris have caused widespread damage and 185 separate sites of damage have been reported," the firm said.
"There is risk that some customers may be impacted until Wednesday as the weather has continued to be a challenge."
As of 07:00 on Wednesday there are also 38 flood warnings in place across Scotland as well as 21 in England.
In York, parts of the city have flooded with water levels on the River Ouse already very high, and set to rise further.
Motorists are being urged to reconsider making journeys where the weather is expected to be the worst, including western and southern Scotland and north-west England.
"With so much heavy rainfall and debris on the roads, driving conditions will be very challenging," RAC spokeswoman Alice Simpson said.
"We also suggest drivers avoid parking underneath or near to trees," she added.
