On Saturday morning, the British woke up to blown down trees, overturned trucks and worn roofs.

Storm Arwen, which pulled in on Friday, has caused major problems in the British Isles.

Two people have died as a result of the storm.

On Friday, a man died in Antrim in Northern Ireland after a tree fell over his car.

On Saturday morning, another man died from a falling tree in the town of Ambleside in the north-west of England, according to British police.

Hundreds of thousands of households have lost power, while the storm has led to major traffic disruptions, reports the BBC.

Roads and railways have been blocked by trees and minor landslides and ferry traffic has been stopped due to high waves.

Warns of cold snaps

Before the storm hit, a so-called "red warning" was issued for parts of Scotland and northern England.

Residents were then advised not to travel under any circumstances.

Since then, the warning has been downgraded, but on Saturday morning, yellow warnings for strong winds and snow were still issued for almost the whole of Britain.

In several places, wind speeds of over 40 meters per second have been measured, according to the BBC.

In addition, the storm caused a cold snap, which prompted the UK health authority to issue a warning of low temperatures until Monday.

On Saturday, the storm is expected to move south and then decrease somewhat in strength, according to the British weather service Met Office.

However, the British are still urged to be vigilant and refrain from unnecessary travel.
