90mph gusts of wind are expected to batter Sussex with life-threatening risks, including flying debris, expected to threaten the lives of residents who go out during Storm Eunice, according to the Met Office.


The Met Office has urged Sussex residents to only leave the house for essential journeys during Storm Eunice.


The most recent Red Warning issued by the Met Office was in November 2021 during Storm Arwen. Red Warnings are hardly ever issued by the Met Office.


Disruptions to public transportation and non-essential businesses can be expected during Storm Eunice.


Residents have been warned to secure gardening tools, bins, and plants; avoid leaving their cars parked too close to trees; and stay alert.


Storm Eunice's rain and gusts of wind are expected to continue over the weekend and the start of next week, according to the Met Office.
