Storm Dave will clear northeast on Easter Sunday, bringing "sunshine and showers" to much of the country, the Met Office has said.

An amber wind alert - that had warned of potential danger to life from flying debris in northern England, north-west Wales and southern Scotland - was lifted at 03:00 BST.

Yellow weather alerts are still in place in parts of the country until midday, with showers predicted to be "particularly heavy and blustery in the North".

The wet and windy weather has caused some damage and continued travel disruption.

Strong winds will continue across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England.

Further south, there will be sunshine and showers - although these areas are set for cooler conditions than on Saturday.

After a chilly start to Monday, temperatures will climb through the day to reach afternoon highs of 10-15C (50-59F), with dry and sunny spells for most.

Tuesday looks set to turn even warmer with 20C looking possible in parts of England and Wales.

Those travelling over the Easter weekend have been warned of possible disruption on the roads as well as ferry, rail and air services.

Some ferry services were cancelled and amended in western Scotland, with rain, sleet and hill snow reported in the region on Saturday afternoon.

The Met Office had warned that up to 30cm of snow could fall in parts of the country, where a yellow warning had been in place until the early hours of Sunday.

ScotRail urged passengers to check their journeys before travelling while Highlands and Islands Airports warned flights could be affected.

Holiday sites in Wales meanwhile reported cancelled stays over the blustery conditions, as gusts of up to 66mph were recorded in Capel Curig in the north.

The Met Office had said coastal areas covered by the amber wind warning could have seen speeds hitting 80mph before the warning expired at 03:00 BST on Sunday.

it said large waves and debris would mean injuries and danger to life were likely.

Meanwhile, the Energy Networks Association, which represents electricity network operators, warned of a hit to local power infrastructure - with a greater chance of power cuts and fallen power lines. It said operators had increased staffing and moved equipment to the areas expecting the worst weather.

In Northern Ireland, where a yellow warning had been in effect until 3:00 on Sunday, some council facilities were closed and visitors were advised to stay clear of parks and nature reserves.

In England, National Highways said people should plan ahead and adjust their travel plans as the RAC warned extra care should be taken on exposed, higher routes.

People had been advised to stay indoors as much as possible, and check for loose items outside that need securing.
