The Met Office has issued a yellow wind warning for the entire Sussex coast between 3am and 6pm on Wednesday (December 27).
Officials are warning there will likely be delays to road, rail, air and ferry journeys and coastal areas could be battered with large waves and sea spray.
People who will be driving high-sided vehicles are being told to take extra care when on routes exposed to winds and on bridges.
There is also a possibility of short term power loss to homes and businesses in the county.

The Met Office says: “Gusts are likely to reach 50 to 60 mph fairly widely, with a risk of 65 to 70 mph across some exposed headlands.
“If you are on the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves. Even from the shore large breaking waves can sweep you off your feet and out to sea.
“Take care if walking near cliffs – know your route and keep dogs on a lead. In an emergency, call 999 and ask for the coastguard.”
