A yellow weather warning is in place for parts of Kent as heavy rain and strong winds hit the county this morning.

The Met Office says Dover, Folkestone, Ashford, Romney Marsh and Tunbridge Wells can expect to face the blustery and wet conditions until about 9am today.

The Environment Agency warns interruption to power supplies and other services is likely and damage to trees is possible.

Spray and flooding on roads could make journey times longer.

Some short-term loss of power and other services is also possible.

The Met Office says some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely.

It comes after a warning of huge waves, falling trees and flying debris was issued for Kent, as Storm Ciaran approaches the county.

The more severe amber alert will be in force from 6am until 8pm tomorrow, with weather experts warning very large waves could bring additional impacts to coastal areas, especially along the English Channel coastline.
