STRONG winds are set to batter Southampton tomorrow, with experts warning of travel and power disruption for much of the county.

The Met Office has given a yellow weather warning for the city as well as Hampshire from 4am to 6pm tomorrow as Storm Ellen is set to bring winds of up to 60mph.

On its website, the Met Office said: “Strong winds on Friday are expected to lead to some travel disruption and perhaps some temporary power disruption.

"Winds are then expected to gradually ease during late afternoon and evening."

Experts added: "Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely. Probably some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer."

The warning has been extended across the east and southeast of England.
