Hove seafront is empty this morning as the storm has seen a red weather warning - the most severe- rolled out across Sussex.

Images taken on the beach show grey skies and hail coming down, lifeguard vehicles are also on the scene in case of emergency.

A red danger sign can also be seen urging the public not to go any further.

It comes after Brighton and Hove City Council have urged people to stay away from the seafront today, as "flying pebbles" could cause injury.

The city' seafronts can be "extremely dangerous" in stormy weather with violent waves coming from different directions, coupled with freezing temperatures and high spring tides.

The highest alert – meaning a high impact is very likely – was issued to run from 10am until 3pm over Sussex due to fears of Storm Eunice “causing significant disruption and dangerous conditions due to extremely strong winds” up to 90mph, the Met Office said.
