A weather warning for strong winds has been put in place across the south coast for tomorrow (Thurday 28th March)

The Met Office has said gusts of 50 miles an hour are widely expected - and could reach 70 miles an hour in coastal areas.

The yellow warning, which is in place between 7am and 6pm, is also for hail and thunder at times.

A spokesperson from the Met Office said: "A deep area of low pressure will bring a spell of very windy weather to parts of southwest and then southern England on Thursday.

"Gusts of 50 mph are expected quite widely, while some exposed coastal spots may experience gusts of 60 to 70 mph, with large waves also likely.

"The strong winds will be accompanied by heavy, squally showers with the possibility of hail and thunder in some locations.

"Hail won't fall everywhere but where it does it can quickly make road surfaces slippery, while surface water and spray are likely to worsen travel conditions rather more widely."
