Across the Irish Sea, footage showed how a plane was forced to abort landing at Dublin Airport.

The Aer Lingus flight came into the runway at a sideways angle as Kathleen violently rocked it.

Its pilot managed to get wheels on the ground but could not secure a safe landing, bouncing back into the air.

The brave pilot flew around the runway and at last touched down safely.Around 140 flights were cancelled across the UK yesterday as Kathleen grounded planes.

How to stay safe in the storm

THIS is the Met Office's advice to people in the Storm Kathleen warning zone:

Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance.

It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.

If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves.

Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea.

Take care if walking near cliffs; know your route and keep dogs on a lead.

In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly.

When a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

A new yellow wind warning will cover much of north west Scotland from until midnight tonight after it was extended this mornig..

The Met Office has also issued a further two yellow warnings for the coming week.

A rain warning will cover southern, central and eastern Scotland from midnight tonight until 6pm on Tuesday.And a wind warning will be in force for Cornwall, Somerset and Devon from 6pm tomorrow until 6am on Tuesday.

Forecasters said that "squally showers" and "blustery winds" of up to 60mph could spark transport delays and power cuts.

Huge waves could also batter coastal roads and sea fronts in Argyll and Bute, the Highlands and Eilean Siar.

The Scottish Environmental Protection Agency has issued 18 regional flood alerts and 43 flood warnings. 

It comes after 73mph winds were recorded in Drumalbin, South Lanarkshire.

Expert Vincent Fitzsimons said: "Scotland is braced for impacts from Storm Kathleen including very high winds and coastal flooding.

"On top of already high tides, Kathleen will bring a storm surge and large waves.

"This combination is particularly dangerous, especially around high tides.

"There is real danger to life from wave overtopping, particularly around causeways, coastal roads and paths.

"Disruption to travel and infrastructure is possible, as is isolated flooding to coastal properties and communities.

"While the risk is greatest around high tide times, our message is clear: take extra care if you are near the coast at any point and stay well clear of waves and water.

"Be careful when travelling around exposed coastal areas and don't walk or drive through flood water as there may be hidden hazards."

The storm battered much of the UK's west coast yesterday - but it was also the warmest day of the year so far.

A high of 20.9C was recorded at Santon Down in Suffolk, while 22.2mm of rain soaked the Isle of Harris.

Is your area affected by the yellow warning?

A YELLOW wind warning will cover part of the UK from 9am until 3pm today.

Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely, forecasters said.

Coastal routes and sea fronts will be soaked by monster waves as Storm Kathleen rages.

And some short term loss of power and other services like phone signal is also possible.

These are the areas covered by the yellow wind warning:

• Eilean Siar
• Highland
• Argyll and Bute
