Strong winds and heavy rain are expected to batter Kent this weekend as Storm Dennis arrives.

People are being warned the adverse weather could affect driving conditions, disrupt travel and cause power outages or flooding.

Warnings have been issued from the Met Office, county council and Southeastern Railway as people are commuters are expected to face delays.

It comes just days after Storm Ciara caused mayhem across Kent with similar weather.

The Met Office has released yellow and amber warnings for the wind and rain for the weekend, as well as a risk of flooding, and have advised people to check their travel plans before leaving.

Anyone affected by the storm may be entitled to compensation and are being told to keep hold of their train ticket and make a not of their journey.

Kent County Council (KCC) say the weather could impact driving conditions, disrupt transport, isolate power outages and cause potential flooding.

Storm Dennis' wet and windy conditions are expected to be at its worse between midnight tonight and 6pm tomorrow.

The county authority said residents "could see 20-30 mm of rain quite widely," but added some areas may get as much as 60 mm.

Highways England has warned drivers to take care in the strong winds and rain. It says not to travel unless the journey is necessary.

The Met Office have issued an amber rain warning and yellow wind warning for the next two days.

The weather service's chief meteorologist Steve Willington, said: “Storm Dennis will bring another very unsettled spell of weather this weekend with a risk of flooding, particularly in parts of England and Wales and also southern Scotland, where snowmelt will add to the flood risk.

“Following Storm Ciara last weekend and further spells of rain this week, the ground is already saturated in places.

"With Storm Dennis bringing further heavy and persistent rain over the weekend, there is a risk of significant impacts from flooding, including damage to property and a danger to life from fast flowing floodwater.

“Our advice is to keep an eye on the latest weather forecast and weather warnings for your area and to follow the safety advice from officials.”

Sunshine and showers are on the forecast for Monday and Tuesday.
