More than 50 schools across Southampton will be closed tomorrow and a number across Hampshire are following suit as the South braces for the arrival of Storm Ciarán.

Winds of up to 85mph are expected in some areas, as well as heavy rain.

A Southampton City Council spokesperson said: “In anticipation of the severe weather expected as a result of Storm Ciarán, we are advising schools in the city to close in order to ensure the safety of staff, pupils and parents.

"However, some schools may decide to remain open."
