STRONG wind is expected to batter Basingstoke tomorrow as the Met Office issues a yellow warning.

Storm Éowyn will bring heavy rain in the early hours tomorrow morning, Friday, January 24 and winds are expected to clock speeds up to 53mph.

Commuters are advised to take care as the Met Office has said to expect some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport across the county and it is likely that some coastal routes, sea fronts and coastal communities will be affected by spray and large waves.

It adds that some bus and train services affected, with some journeys taking longer and some short term loss of power and other services is possible. Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are likely.
