MORE than 3,000 homes across Gwent were left without power yesterday as Storm Ciara wrought havoc across the region.
Winds of up to 97mph were recorded in some parts of the UK and if you’ve stepped outside today, you’ll know Storm Ciara hasn’t completely relented.
And it is bad news if you were looking forward to some respite from the bad weather.
Throughout today, Storm Ciara’s grip will loosen, but still expect strong, driving winds.
As for the rest of the UK, there are still amber and yellow weather warnings for wind and heavy rain.
The storm is supposed to end on Tuesday morning.
But as we head into the week, plummeting temperatures married with strong gusts of wind will make for biting conditions.
