A woman has died due to strong winds in Scotland as storm Malik bears down on parts of Europe.
The woman was struck by a tree in the city of Aberdeen, police reported on Saturday.
Wind speeds of almost 140km per hour have been measured on Scotland’s eastern coast. Two first division football matches were cancelled as a precaution.
The storm also caused damage in northern England. Across the country, more than 60,000 homes were without power because lines were cut.

Meanwhile, Denmark is bracing itself for the arrival of the storm.
In the town of Frederikssund, 20 people in need of daily care have been moved to safety as care could not be guaranteed in the case of flooding, broadcaster TV2 reported on Saturday.
On the island of Zealand, where the Danish capital Copenhagen is located, almost all regional train traffic has been suspended, according to the broadcaster DR.
Across the country, 10,000 emergency workers are on standby, the Ritzau news agency reported.
A stormy night was also in store for northern Germany. The German Weather Service warned of storms bringing gale-force winds to the coast and in the north-eastern half of the country.
