When will the rain stop? Hour by hour forecast after tornado investigation in Hayling Island and Emsworth

Stormy conditions hit the Portsmouth area last night with reports of a “tornado” hitting Hayling Island and Emsworth being investigated.

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain was in place by the Met Office for most of yesterday. Intense showers disrupted travel on the roads, and high wind speeds were reported in some areas.

Torro, the UK's Tornado and Storm Research Organisation, called for residents in Hayling Island and Emsworth to get in touch with them after people took to social media to say they were hit by a “tornado”. “We are seeing reports of wind damage in Hayling Island and Emsworth from this evening,” Torro said yesterday.

“We would be very interested in any further information. Please be patient if it takes some time for us to respond -TORRO are a volunteer group. Every report will be read and noted.” The organisation can be contacted through its severe weather report page.

According to the Met Office, today is expected to be much calmer and wind speeds are predicted to fall to normal levels. There is a small chance of showers at some stage, but sunny intervals have been forecast for Portsmouth.
