In Wales, a body has been found in the search for a 75-year-old dog walker who went missing during Storm Bert, as the country's first minister, Eluned Morgan, says the impact of the storm has been "absolutely devastating".

There are still four yellow weather warnings in place in the UK, covering the Scottish Highlands, south-east and south-west England and parts of the Midlands.

Flood warning also remain in place, there are 165 in England and Wales and four in Scotland. Two severe flood warnings remain in place in Monmouthshire, south-east Wales.

Over the weekend, thousands of homes in England and Wales were left without electricity - but National Grid says the number of power cuts has "fallen steadily".

On Saturday, another man, in his 60s, died after a tree fell on his car in Hampshire.

And the clean up has begun in Northern Ireland, after more than a month's worth of rain hit some counties

We're now closing our live coverage of Storm Bert, but this piece will continue to be updated with the latest updates.

This page was edited by Rorey Bosotti, Matt Spivey and Nathan Williams. It was written by myself and Seher Asaf. With reporting by Miriam Barker.

The clean up in Northern Ireland begins after areas in County Fermanagh, County Antrim and County Down recorded more than half a month's rainfall this weekend.

A number of homes were flooded in counties Down and Tyrone on Saturday following hours of heavy rain and wind caused by Storm Bert.

About 18 properties as well as a number of cars in Park Avenue, Dundonald were damaged by the flooding. Some residents in Dundonald were stuck in their houses due to the flood water on Saturday while up to 10 homes may have been flooded in Coalisland.

A yellow warning for high winds was issued for Northern Ireland until 18:00 on Sunday. The strongest winds in Northern Ireland on Saturday - 67mph - were recorded in Ballypatrick, County Antrim.

A man in his 80s has died after his car entered the water at a ford - a shallow place in a river or stream where it's possible to cross by driving - in Colne, Lancashire, on Saturday afternoon.

The man was taken to hospital where he later died, Lancashire Police have said this afternoon. It is unclear if the incident was directly related to Storm Bert.

As we've just reported, Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan says the impact of the floods in Wales has been "absolutely devastating".

We've also had a statement from a Welsh Government spokesperson, who says the "trauma and upset [Storm Bert] causes should never be underestimated".

The spokesperson urged people to follow official advice over the coming days and says the government will be working with its partners to deliver support to those affected.

They added that "flood defences played a role in protecting many homes and businesses" and say they will "continue [the] investment programme to make communities even more resilient to severe weather events in future."

After a short delay, we're hearing from the first minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan, who says the impact of Storm Bert has been "absolutely devastating".

She adds that since the last storm hit the UK, Wales has placed huge investment to protect more properties, but that "the enormity" of the rain made it difficult.

“Clearly climate change is going to impact us", she says, adding that "the severity and frequency of these events is something we all need to be aware of".

Prior to the Storm Bert, the first minister says "hundreds of millions of pounds have been put into flood defences in Wales over the past few years."

The Met Office is warning that Storm Bert is creating "dangerous conditions" along the coasts of southern England and Wales.

A yellow wind warning is in place until 21:00 pm GMT.

We've also been hearing from Flooding Minister Emma Hardy, who's urging the public to "check their flood risks" as warnings and alerts remain in place across large swathes of the country.

“I am receiving regular updates on the response to flooding in parts of the country," Hardy says in a statement. "My sympathies are with all of those who have been impacted by Storm Bert."

The minister thanks emergency services for their "tireless work" over the past 48 hours, adding: “I urge people to check their flood risk, sign up for flood warnings and follow the latest guidance from emergency responders.”

While we wait for the Welsh first minister's news conference, we can report Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies visited Pontypridd earlier today.

Speaking to the press a little while ago, the leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf Borough Council Andrew Morgan said: "I met with him to have conversations around the scale of the impact and what's going on."

Morgan adds that there has already been conversations with the Welsh government, and the first minister had been in touch on Sunday afternoon,

He says he also had contact from the prime minister's office "seeking again for an update and asking what assistance we may need".

We're expecting to hear from Welsh First Minister Eluned Morgan soon.

Stick with us as we bring you her top lines.

At midday today, a tree on a residential street near London Fields in East London was blown over by the wind.

"There was a man with an incident van from London Transport (I guess as it’s a bus route) cutting down the branches," Nick Wakefield, who took the photo, tells the BBC. "The road was completely blocked even to pedestrians as it covered both paths.

The Met Office issued a yellow wind warning at 08:00 on Sunday morning for London and the southeast of England. The warning ends at 21:00 GMT this evening.

Jo Potter, from South Wales, had intended to swim in the Lido at Pontypridd this morning, but found it closed as the River Taff swelled.

She tells the BBC she had "never seen the river so high".

"There's quite a significant amount of standing water on the A470 and the fire brigade are out," she adds.

Rail passengers in the north of England are being urged to check before they travel in the aftermath of Storm Bert.

Northern said services between Workington and Lancaster were still unable to run in either direction due to flooding in the Ulverston area.

Limited services are operating between Workington and Carlisle following Saturday's snow and rain.

Routes between Manchester Airport and Glasgow and Edinburgh, as well as Liverpool and Glasgow, and Edinburgh and Newcastle, are also affected.

Northern warned there was likely to be weather-related disruption across a number of other routes, adding that "adverse" conditions meant it was unable to operate replacement buses.

Storm Bert continues to bring some very strong winds.

So far today southwest England has borne the brunt with gusts of 60-70mph (97-112 km/h) in many places.

Yeovilton in Somerset recorded a gust of 76mph (122km/h) – which looks like the strongest gust recorded at that site since February 1990.

Met Office yellow warnings for wind remain in force across southern and eastern England for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening.

Northern Ireland and Scotland are also covered by Met Office yellow warnings with the risk of gusts reaching 75mph (121 km/h) in exposed parts of western Scotland.

We're now hearing from residents of a flood-hit street in Wales who criticise Natural Resources Wales for not doing enough to prevent the flooding.

Paula Williams, whose house is on Sion Street - right next to the River Taff in Pontypridd - says: "We do as much prep as we can when we know there's going to be an issue.

"The river levels were going down last night when we went to bed. We only knew something was happening because we had a neighbour knocking us," she tells PA. "She was shouting 'get the cars moved'.

"We managed to get the dog out down my parents so we didn't have to worry about her and then it was all hands to the pump."

Williams says Natural Resources Wales didn't listen to warnings from residents raised the last time there was flooding.

"This time, there's only about four inches of water come in but it's in exactly the same place that we told NRW about last time, and they didn't do anything about it," she adds.

"They've tried to convince everybody that the flood defences worked. I have got videos proving the flood defences don't work."

She says they had one flood alert yesterday morning at 10:00 GMT, which is just the general keep an eye out alert.

"We had the actual flood warning, which is the risk to flooding properties, at about 7.40am this morning but the river had already flooded, it was too late by then."

She says it was the community neighbours fighting to protect the homes that stopped the flooding being as bad as in 2020.

The news conference in south Wales has just finished. We heard form Rhondda Cynon Taf Council Leader, Councillor Andrew Morgan, and the Chief Fire Officer of South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, Fin Monahan.

Here's what they said:

• After declaring a major incident this morning, between 200-300 properties were affected by today's flooding
• A bridge, which was replaced after Storm Dennis, was completely washed away
• Water levels were higher than expected. Flood guidance warned of a potential for significant flooding but suggested risk was low

Morgan is asked by a BBC reporter if water levels were higher than he had expected.

"Absolutely yes," Morgan says.

He adds that the flood guidance warned of a potential for significant flooding but suggested risk was low.

Morgan says he's "amazed" that there was only a yellow weather warning and this wasn't upgraded to amber.
