Meanwhile Northern Powergrid said hundreds of customers were cut off in Northumberland and County Durham.

The A66 reopened on Sunday evening after it was closed in both directions between the A67 near Bowes in County Durham and the A685 near Brough, Cumbria, due to strong winds - a section of road nearly 15 miles (24 km) long. The Redheugh Bridge was shut on Sunday afternoon due to high winds but was later reopened. No severe weather warnings remain in place across the North East or Cumbria on Monday but a yellow wind warning has been issued by the Met Office for Tuesday.
