Met Office extends severe rain weather warning across Sussex

A yellow weather warning for rain will come into effect between 4am and 11pm as widespread storms ignite across the area.

The warning covers the whole country now, including Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne and Worthing.

Those heading out for the morning commute should plan for downpours, as the skies are set to unleash heavy rain beginning the early morning hours.

The Met Office said: "Tuesday will see often heavy showers, with the risk of hail and thunder."

As the day goes on, forecasters have warned that flooding, disruption to travel and power cuts to homes and businesses across the country are possible.

The onslaught of rain and wind is likely to mark the end of summer weather, the Met Office said last week.

Weekend temperatures in the mid-20s will fade to highs in the upper teens this week.

Here's what to expect on Tuesday where you live:

Brighton

Hove

Shoreham

Eastbourne

Worthing
