The European Storm Forecast Experiment has issued a level two alert for southern England on Thursday, warning of the possibility of ‘severe wind gusts with a few tornado events possible’.
Oli Claydon, of the Met Office, said: ‘We don’t need to look that far back to see similar strength winds, with Storm Darroch just a few weeks ago.
