Yellow wind warning for England and Wales
The Met Office warning covers all of Wales and most of England - away from the far north - and is valid until 1800 on Monday.

Wind gusts of 45-55mph (72-89km/h) will continue to affect many inland areas with gusts of 60-70mph (97-113km/h) likely around exposed coasts and over hills. There is a risk of disruption on the roads and at airports, while Network Rail, external is warning of possible delays on railways.

Large waves are expected around the coasts and some power cuts are possible.

The weather is expected to calm down during Monday evening as the strongest winds begin to ease.

Heavy rain also features with downpours across many northern and western parts of the UK. Some media reports, as well as posts on social media, are suggesting that this is Storm Amy - the first named storm of the UK season.

That is not the case.

The Met Office names storms in conjunction with the Irish and Dutch weather services based on how significant the impacts are forecast to be.

A storm is typically named if it is expected to be bad enough to warrant an amber or red weather warning, and that looks very unlikely this time.

When this area of low pressure first appeared on weather charts several days ago it did seem possible that it could be strong enough to be named.

However, as the forecast became firmer it looked less and less likely that there would be significant impacts.

Storm Amy is going to keep us waiting a while longer.
Will there be a September storm?
The UK had its hottest summer on record but there is no doubt that the start of meteorological autumn has brought a big change.

The jet stream has dropped southwards sending wind and rain-bearing weather systems on a beeline for our shores.

That has made it a wet September so far, especially in southern and western parts of the country where some places have already recorded more than their average rainfall for the whole month.

However, there is no suggestion that hosepipe bans and water restrictions will be lifted yet.

Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor has said he is no longer seeking to run in next month's Irish presidential election.

His announcement on Monday came hours before he was due to address meetings of Dublin City Council and Kildare County Council, where he was seeking to secure the nominations needed for his name to be on the ballot.

In a post on social media, McGregor said the decision to withdraw his name had come "following careful reflection, and after consulting with my family".

Ireland will head to the polls on 24 October, with three candidates so far having secured the backing needed from Irish lawmakers or local authorities to stand in the race. Presidential hopefuls must be an Irish citizen aged 35 or older, and require the endorsement of at least 20 members of the Irish parliament, the Oireachtas, or four out of Ireland's 31 local authorities.

McGregor, a former champion fighter who has not competed professionally since July 2021, said: "This was not an easy decision, but it is the right one at this moment in time."

The 37-year-old, who first vowed to run for the presidency last year, said he was "truly humbled" by the "support and encouragement" he received.

He said the election's eligibility rules were a "straitjacket" that prevented "a true democratic presidential election being contested".

For months, McGregor had been sharing posts with his millions of followers on social media about his ambition to be president of Ireland.

He posted a video asking people to lobby councillors to nominate him to run but did not put himself forward to speak at the first councils to hear presentations from would-be candidates, which led commentators to question how serious he really was about fully entering the race.

McGregor did appear on a list of prospective runners to appear before Dublin and Kildare County Councils on Monday, but his withdrawal came before he had to put his case in a forum where he could be questioned.

Earlier this year, McGregor lost a civil jury appeal against a finding that he had sexually assaulted a woman, which he denied.

Nikita Hand accused McGregor of ra**ng her in a hotel in Dublin in 2018. In November 2024, she won her claim against him for damages in a civil case.

McGregor was ordered to pay £206,000 in damages plus costs to Ms Hand.

The vast majority of politicians in Ireland who commented on McGregor's potential candidacy said he was unfit for the office and was unlikely to secure a place on the ballot paper, many drawing attention to his legal cases.

Irish presidential election: Who are the runners and riders?
Prospective presidential candidates have until 24 September to secure the backing needed to make it onto the ballot, with three so far having done so.

Catherine Connolly is an independent who is backed by some left-wing parties - Labour, the Social Democrats, and People Before Profit.

Jim Gavin has been selected by Fianna Fáil, which is the largest party in the Irish parliament and led by the Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

Heather Humphreys is the candidate for Fine Gael, a centre-right party which is currently in coalition government with Fianna Fáil.

Sinn Féin has said it will announce whether it is running a candidate on 20 September. It is the main opposition party in Dublin and the largest party at all levels of politics in Northern Ireland.

The Duke of Sussex has said his "conscience is clear" following his revealing memoir Spare, and that he did not air his "dirty linen in public."

Prince Harry and his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, stepped back from official royal duties in 2020, and also spoke publicly about difficulties with family relationships to US talk show host Oprah Winfrey the following year.

Speaking to the Guardian while on a trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, he said: "I don't believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear."

His comments came just days after a short meeting with his father, King Charles, their first meeting in over a year.It was the first time the pair had met since February 2024.

The prince, who also appeared with his wife in the 2022 Netflix series Harry and Meghan, also spoke about his upcoming legal case against the Daily Mail's publisher, Associated Newspapers, at the High Court in London.

He is suing them over allegations of phone-hacking and other unlawful information gathering along with Sir Elton John, Baroness Lawrence and other public figures.

Associated Newspapers has denied claims that it hacked phones, calling them "preposterous smears".

"It is not about revenge, it is about accountability," said the Prince, who now lives in the US but returned to the UK last week to attend a series of events related to causes he supports.

Underlining his "love" for the UK, he suggested he would like to return home to see his family more often.

He added that for the coming year, "the focus really has to be on my dad."

The aim of Prince Harry's visit to the Ukrainian capital was to promote the work of his Invictus Games Foundation and to celebrate the recovery and rehabilitation of thousands of veterans who have suffered life-changing injuries since the war with Russia began three years ago.

"Nobody should feel embarrassed or ashamed about their disabilities," he said. "It's about flipping from sympathy to admiration and respect."

After having laid a wreath in memory of the dead, he described the conflict as "all so unnecessary."

His work for Invictus, he said, had helped to give him a renewed "purpose" after his military career ended, adding that it "saved me".

He spoke to the British newspaper about the cost of war and how he boxes to relieve stress - punching a punch bag - as well as his portrayal in the media.

He stressed that while he felt he had been "destroyed by certain members of the British press", he also still felt a lot of love from the British public.

In January, the publisher of the Sun newspaper agreed to pay "substantial damages" and apologised to him settle a long-running legal battle over claims of unlawful intrusion into his life.

He told The Guardian some events of the last four years have been "very stressful" and he had been "finding out certain things that have really, really hurt."
