Live video: West Pier in Brighton during Storm Ciar?n

The West Pier is still standing strong after 62mph gusts battered Brighton^[1] this morning – as seen on our live West Pier camera.

We’ve got cameras across the county from Brighton to Worthing and everywhere in between – streamed live on our Facebook below.

Huge waves of up to 18 feet are expected to hit the coast today, with gusts of up to 80mph and heavy rain.

An amber weather warning for wind is in place for most of Sussex from 6am until 5pm today, with the Met Office warning of a possible “danger to life” from flying debris.

Damage to homes and power lines is anticipated, along with disruption to road, rail, ferry and air travel.

Brighton and Hove City Council urged people to stay away from the seafront as winds intensify, and to avoid parks, woodland and open spaces due to the danger of falling trees.

The RNLI urged people to exercise caution if they are near the shoreline, especially along exposed cliffs, seafronts and piers.
