Thousands of homes are without power, roads have been closed and the Environment Agency has issued 186 flood warnings as Storm Franklin hits Northern Ireland and the North of England.
The BBC has reported that more than 4,000 homes are without electricity as Storm Franklin moves in.
Following the impact of storms Dudley and Eunice, this is thought to be the first time that three named storms have been recorded within seven days since the storm naming system began in 2015.
The Northern Ireland Department of Infrastructure said it had dealt with around 331 incidents of flooding and obstructions on roads throughout Sunday and overnight.
'Pumps have been deployed and sandbags issued in the worst affected areas,' a spokesperson told the BBC.
'Traffic disruption is possible this morning and the public are being asked to consider their journeys and take extra care when travelling.'
An updated list of road closures caused by the storm can be found on Traffic Watch NI.
The Manchester Evening News has reported two 'severe flood warnings' remain in place in Greater Manchester. The 'danger to life' warnings are in place for the River Mersey at East Didsbury and the River Mersey at West Didsbury and Northenden.
Residents in those areas have been told to 'act now' and evacuate if told to do so.
The River Mersey burst its banks at one point with water levels reaching their highest level ever in one area.
Rail services have also been disrupted, with services impacted across Wales. Trees falling on the line have stopped services in the South of England as well.
Network Rail Kent and Sussex Tweeted: Our advice is to stay home if you can as disruption is likely to get worse as the day goes on.
'There’s a 50mph speed restriction in place all day and operators are running amended timetables. In addition, should lines have to close, there won’t be any alternatives as there simply aren’t enough buses. It’s a really tough situation and we appreciate your patience.'
