Met Office weather warning for high winds in Sussex
The Met Office says people across the entire Sussex coast should expect “unseasonably windy weather” leading to potential power cuts and structural damage to “temporary structures”.
Officials also warn there will likely be delays to road, rail, air, and ferry transports while those driving high-sided vehicles should take particular care on routes exposed to winds.

Trees and pylons could fall during the weather warning which is in place between 4am and 6pm tomorrow (August 2).
This morning a tree fell on a railway line[2] and passengers should prepare to allow extra time for their journeys tomorrow.
The railway line between Rye and Ore was blocked on Tuesday morning while work to remove the tree continued.
As with all warnings for wind, people are reminded to take extra care on the shoreline.
