Gales of up to 70mph are due to hit Brighton overnight as Storm Claudio moves through the English Channel.
the Met Office this afternoon issued a yellow weather warning, saying the strong winds could cause disruption.
The warning, which starts at midnight and runs until 8am tomorrow, says: “A small area of low pressure, named Storm Claudio by Meteo France, will move eastwards through the English Channel bringing a spell of strong to gale force winds.
“While the strongest winds are expected over the Channel Islands and northern France, parts of southern England may well see gales for a time overnight.
“Southerly winds will strengthen before veering westerly and are expected to gust to 50-60 mph, especially over coastal areas, with a risk of isolated coastal gusts to 70 mph.”
