Storm Franklin has hit the UK - and the Met Office has said there will be strong winds and possible disruption.

There is a yellow weather warning for wind in place across London, and rail companies are issuing warnings not to travel.

Dartford Crossing is also closed due to the winds - and drivers are facing queues of up to seven miles long.

There are no more warnings in place for the rest of the week in London as of yet, so the weather might be on the up after today.

It's a fairly cloudy day in London so far, and the sun might come out at some points - but its the wind that's making it feel so miserable.
