UK Power Networks estimated up to 600 customers in Aylesham and Denton in Kent had low voltage or no supply from about 03:45 GMT following an overhead network fault.

Supplies to 44 customers in Otford, Kent, was also turned off for safety reasons at 07:55 to repair a damaged overhead power line, UK Power Networks explained.

Some people near Wych Cross in East Sussex have had low pressure or no water because of a power failure, caused by the storm, at South East Water's operational site.

Matthew Dean, the company's head of operations for Sussex, said power had been restored and the network was "recharging".

Southern says some of its services could be disrupted in the South East until about midday, including a "very reduced" service between Portsmouth and Barnham in West Sussex until after 10:00.

The train operator said there would also only be an hourly service between Epsom Downs and London Victoria until after 10:00, and between Uckfield and London Bridge during the morning.

South Western Railway said due to a precarious tree at Frimley, trains were running at reduced speed on the line towards Ascot.

Services across the network have been starting later than usual due to safety inspections, and trains are running at reduced speed on all lines, South Western Railway says.

There were delays on DFDS Seaways between Dover and Calais and between Dover and Dunkerque due to strong winds in the Channel, the operator said, but these have now eased.

East Sussex Highways said across the weekend it received more than 80 call-outs due to fallen trees.

While the Environment Agency has issued four flood alerts for Surrey, including at Chertsey Bourne, the Lower River Colne and Frays River, the River Blackwater and The Cove Brook and the Upper River Wey.

In the early hours of Monday morning, National Highways held traffic on the A3 between the Hindhead and Milford to clear flood water from the road, reopening all lanes at 00:30.

The A3 southbound between Kingston and Esher also reopened at about 6:40 after originally being closed an hour earlier because of "severe" flooding in the area, National Highways said.
