Brighton and Hove faces a battering from high winds and heavy rain over the weekend, the Met Office has warned.
The official forecaster has issued yellow warnings for rain for a large area across southern England, Wales and parts of Scotland.
The warning for England covered a period from 2pm today (Saturday 26 November) and will remain in place until 6am tomorrow.
