Storm Dave disrupts UK Easter

Storm Dave battered the United Kingdom over the Easter weekend, bringing destructive gales and heavy downpours to northern England, Wales, and Scotland.

The storm forced the cancellation of numerous train services and caused significant damage to infrastructure, including falling trees that blocked major railway lines in Greater Manchester.

Thousands of households remain without electricity as utility crews work to restore power in challenging conditions.

Forecasters expect conditions to improve by Monday, though flood warnings remain in place for several regions.
