Storm Angus, which hit south-eastern England on Sunday, has caused damages to roads and properties on land.
UK's Met Office issued the Amber warning for severe gales for a stretch of southeastern England from the Isle of Wight to Kent. Extremely windy at first across southern areas, with gusts to 70 mph possible, especially along the coast, according to the Office's forecast.
The storm brought heavy rain to the areas. Flood warnings and alerts have also been issued for the south-eastern and south-western England with streets and properties in a number of towns in the areas being flooded.
As bad weather affects the southern parts of England, a ship has been reported to be in trouble on water off Dover. Some of the crew have been taken off the cargo ship which has been taking on water, the maritime and coastguard agency said.
It is thought it collided with a barge loaded with rocks, according to Sky News.
The Met Office said that rain in the south-eastern England will move away northwestwards on Monday, and brighter conditions and showers follow, some showers becoming heavy and thundery, especially along the coast where it will become windy. Endit
