The worst of Domingos is expected to hit northern Spain and western France along the Bay of Biscay.
Storm Ciaran proved to be the worst since 1987 for parts of western Europe, with its 193 km/h gusts, tennis ball-sized hail, towering waves and heavy rains. The storm killed at least 14 people, according to the Associated Press, and caused widespread damage, knocking out power to 1.2 million residents in France and disrupting hundreds of flights.
A windshield is seen destroyed as the result of storm damage in Wernigerode, Germany. Recording-breaking winds in France and across much of western Europe left at least 14 people dead and injured several others.To the north, yellow warnings for rain have been drawn across southern England by the UK Met Office.
A string of severe thunderstorms also formed along Ciaran’s cold front, dropping hail the size of tennis balls on Jersey in the Channel Islands. A possible tornado also damaged structures, while winds on the island were logged at 167 km/h. In addition to the yellow warnings in southern England for rain, yellow and orange warnings are in effect for much of western France for heavy rain and wind. Parts of northern Spain are under red warnings - the highest level because of anticipated high winds and rough seas.
