The Orwell Bridge reopened earlier than expected this morning after it was set to remain closed until midday.
The Met Office said Storm Isha – the ninth named storm to hit the UK since the season began in September – is expected to pull away through the day, although it is expected to remain windy with a mixture of sunny spells and scattered showers.
If there are more named storms between next week and August, this year will beat the record held by 2015/16.
Each storm is named when it poses a risk to people and they are given names with consecutive letters of the alphabet.
