Less than 24 hours after Storm Eunice battered Sussex, another warning for wind has been issued by the Met Office.

It's just a yellow warning this time, so we won't see anywhere near as strong winds as yesterday when the county was hit by a rare red warning.

The weather could hamper efforts to clean the county up following yesterday's storm, which saw trees blocking roads, people's fences and sheds blown away and power outages across Sussex.

Roads policing officers were called out to a number of incidents yesterday where trees were blocking the road

Delays on the rail network and to flights in and out of Gatwick airport are also expected again today. Passengers are being asked to check before they travel, and to only travel if absolutely necessary.

Another yellow warning for wind is now in place from midday tomorrow until 3pm on Monday.
