Engineers cannot safely replace poles and wires until the weather passes, Energy Networks Association chief Leo Slade warned, calling it 'a tough weekend'. The storm killed two men on Sunday, including Richard Baines, 60, curator of Logan Botanic Garden. In Renfrew, a £10m flood barrier was not activated before the Clyde burst through. Renfrewshire Council says forecasts missed the threshold.

A man in his 20s was killed when a tree hit his car in Finchley.

Slade said a debate is needed over more investment against climate-driven storms.
