Meanwhile, a further amber warning for wind is in place for many other areas of the UK, with gusts reaching between 80 mph and 100 mph in the most exposed coastal areas.

The weather warning for the North East will be in place between 3am and 6pm tomorrow.

It follows just after Storm Dudley, a jet stream which led to power cuts and travel disruption across the UK on Wednesday.

The Met Office is continuing to warn of travel disruptions as well as power cuts and flying debris as a result of Storm Dudley.

Northern Powergrid also reassured customers that they were “ready to respond” should storms Dudley and Eunice have an impact on the region’s power network.

Paul Glendinning, director of policy and markets, said: "We are closely tracking the weather and have ensured that our resources are in place to respond if the forecasted back-to-back storms impact our network.

"Our network control engineers have capability to restore power supplies remotely, switching electricity through alternative routes on our network wherever possible to get customers back on supply.

"In parallel, our frontline workforce will be deployed to carry out local switching and repairs to restore power as safely and quickly as the conditions allow.”
