Old Portsmouth and other parts of the city and Hampshire were hit with hazardous conditions. The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for ferocious gusts yesterday.

Gales caused waves to leap over the sea defences and spread across the streets. The Environment Agency has issued flood warnings and alerts across the Portsmouth area, with the “highest ever recorded” tide being measures in Old Portsmouth.
