A yellow weather warning has been extended in Southampton as Storm Herminia rolls in to batter the south coast.
The Met Office has issued a further yellow warning for wind which will start tomorrow at 6am and finish Tuesday at 6am, suggesting that strong gusts will hit the city overnight.
Storm Éowyn's winds cancelled ferries and diverted trains on Friday, as the weather experts warn that the gusts 'may bring some disruption' throughout the day on Monday.
The Met Office said: "A period of strong and gusty southwesterly winds is likely to affect southern parts of England and Wales through Monday and at first on Tuesday.
"Gusts to 60 or 70 mph are possible near the coast, with gusts of 50mph possible inland. Winds will gradually ease from the west on Tuesday morning."

The weather experts tell commuters to make sure they leave extra time for their travels, and warn anyone living near the coast to stay safe by being aware of large waves.
The warning is in place for Southampton and the entirety of Hampshire.
Met Office said: "Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."
