Another storm is set to hit Hampshire today, forecasters have warned.

A new yellow weather warning for wind has been issued by the Met Office, covering from midday today to 1pm tomorrow.

Met Office meteorologists have warned the public to take care.

Elsewhere in the UK, an amber weather warning has been issued for wind brought by Storm Franklin across Northern Ireland.

They said in a tweet: “The Met Office has named #StormFranklin.

“The storm is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain to the UK on Sunday and Monday.

“The strongest winds will be in Northern Ireland where an Amber weather warning has been issued. Stay #WeatherAware.”

Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst urged Britons to brace for more windy weather.

Speaking on Saturday, he said: “We will see a slight easing in the wind over the evening time tonight, but it’s not long before they pick up again tomorrow to lead to another windy day across the UK.

“This will have an impact on the clearing up process over the course of the day.”

Yellow weather warning for Hampshire

A yellow weather warning has been issued covering southern England and the coast from midday on Sunday, remaining in place until 3pm on Monday.

What to expect:

  • Some delays to road, rail, and ferry transport are likely.
  • Delays or restrictions for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges likely.
  • It’s likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and/or large waves.
  • Some damage to infrastructure and trees/branches is possible, especially where made more vulnerable by Storm Eunice.
  • Power outages are possible, and efforts to restore power to areas which have had interrupted supply in the wake of Storm Eunice are likely to be hampered.
