Let's face it, I basically work here. I hope so, at least, because packing sucks. I think I'll have to leave soon. Southeasterly winds are expected to reach severe gale across these counties and particularly southern parts of Hampshire and Sussex and across the Isle of Wight by mid afternoon. Winds will be veering southwest by early evening.
Some structural damage is likely.
A period of heavy rain will accompany the strong winds and localised flooding is to be expected causing dangerous driving conditions. For inquires regarding this warning - please contact your regional Met Office. It was cloudy and brisk, but it was perfect. I tore off a nail when it got caught on part of the raft. Good time as always.
