Gale-force winds and heavy rain are heading for Kent and set to lash the county overnight.

Gusts of up to 65mph are expected throughout the evening and into the morning, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning for the south of England.

The wet and blustery conditions are forecast to last until about 9am tomorrow.

Winds of about 40mph to 50 mph are expected, with some as high as 65mph on hills and some coastal areas.

It is thought some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely, while high-sided vehicles could be affected on exposed routes and bridges.

Damage to outdoor temporary structures is also possible.

It comes as April was declared the coldest on record but also the second sunniest ever.
