The alert could see delays on the roads and ferries, with some bus and train journeys also taking longer than usual.

It could also mean some short term loss of powers in homes, and large waves along the coast.

A statement reads: "Conditions across the south of England will turn windier this afternoon and early evening.

"The windiest conditions will be in coastal areas where gales or severe gales are expected along with gusts of 50 to 60 mph for many and perhaps as high as 60 to 70 mph in a few spots.

"Parts of southwest England are likely to see the highest winds during early to mid afternoon whilst peak winds over parts of southeast England will probably not be until later this afternoon and early evening.

"Meanwhile, these high winds will be accompanied by further showers and spells of rain, heavy at times."

The weather warning has been issued for the whole of the south coast of England.

It is the second alert to be issued by the Met Office this weekend - a yellow weather warning was put in place this morning as heavy rain caused flooding to some parts of the county.

It has also resulted in delays on the M2 and M20.
