STORM Brendan is battering the west coast of Cumbria.
Motorists are reporting treacherous road conditions on sections of the A590 around Dalton.
Persistent heavy rain has meant stretches of the route are abnormally dangerous, with drivers warning of large amounts of surface water.
Drivers have been urged to take extra care if travelling along the route this evening.
