As the Storm Brendan swept through Limerick, Ireland, on Jan. 13, a trampoline was flung onto a highway.

Windstorm Brendan, which was named by Met Éireann on Saturday, arrived with a punch in Ireland and the United Kingdom on Monday.

As of Monday afternoon at least 48,000 homes and businesses were without power in Ireland, according to The Journal. More than 132,000 customers lost power at some point during the storm.

Around 10,000 homes and businesses lost power during the storm across the U.K.

Hardest hit areas in Ireland include Galway, Limerick, Kerry, Cork and Donegal. A peak wind gust of 84 mph (135 km/h) was reported in County Cork.

In the U.K., a peak gust of 87.5 mph (141 km/h) was reported in South Uist, Scotland. A wind gust of 76 mph (122 km/h) occurred in Capel Curig, Wales.

Western Scotland endured some of Brendan's strongest winds into Tuesday. Schools were closed in the Western Isles on Monday in advance of the storm, according to the BBC.

The storm also caused numerous flights to be canceled or delayed across Ireland and the U.K.

Flooded roadways were reported in both Ireland and the U.K. on Monday and additional flooding is possible into Tuesday night.

Tuesday brought another round of strong winds and rain to England and Wales.

"Winds will likely impact the evening commute, especially across the Midlands and southeastern England," warned AccuWeather Meteorologist Tyler Roys.

High-profile vehicles should exercise caution traveling on roads prone to strong cross winds.

Rain and high-elevation snow showers can continue across northern Scotland on Wednesday; otherwise, a brief break in the parade of storms is expected.

Another storm is expected to move into the area on Thursday.

While winds can become gusty at times, widespread strong, damaging wind gusts like earlier in the week are not expected.

Localized flooding is possible in areas that receive multiple rounds of rain throughout the week.

A period of more tranquil weather is possible across the U.K. and Ireland from this weekend into next week.
