Storm Ingunn has battered the Faroe Islands, with winds speeds reaching an incredible 155mph.
A yellow warning for wind has been issued for the UK as the gusts were recorded by a Landsverk weather station in the Faroe Islands.
Storm Ingunn was named by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute that struck northern Scotland.
The weather system brought gusts of 106mph to the Aonach Mor mountain in Scotland earlier today.

Winds battered northern Scotland this afternoon
Earlier today, more than 40 train services were cancelled in Scotland over safety concerns, while ferry operator Calmac axed all departures on five of its routes.
Edinburgh Castle, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh Zoo and Craigmillar Castle were all closed for tourists.
Meanwhile in the Western Isles, schools and nurseries were shut because of the conditions.
Across the sea in Norway, residents battened down as authorities warned the country could see its most powerful storm in three decades and urged people to stay indoors.
