The majority of Cornwall is facing yellow weather warnings for wind from the Met Office ahead of the upcoming Storm Arwen.
The weather warning began on Friday, November 26 and is in place in full until the following day. With the worst of the weather ancitipated to fall over night, gusts of wind expected to reach over 50mph in some places as well as heavy rain or hail.
HM Costguard for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly urged members of the public to be responsible during the storm: "There are lots of warnings around our coast from the Met office for the next couple of days. Please take great care if you are going to look at the waves.
"No photo is worth your life, it only takes 15cm of water to scat you off your feet.
"Keep back from cliff edges, piers, harbour walls and other exposed areas if it’s choppy.
"Stay back, stay safe and don’t bother with a hat
"If you see someone taking risks or putting others in danger call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
The storm could cause travel disruption and damage, therefore extra time and care should be allowed when on the roads during this period.
