Heavy rain and strong winds have caused flooding and travel disruption in Southampton and Hampshire this morning after the severe effects of Storm Eowyn.
Up to 80mm of rainfall has been seen in parts of England and Wales with several amber and yellow weather warnings issued by the Met Office over Saturday and Sunday.
It comes after winds reached 100mph on Friday as the storm left one person dead, more than a million people without power and caused significant travel disruption across the UK and Ireland.
