The Met Office has issued weather warnings for the South West from Friday 6 December through to Sunday 8 December.
The Met Office has issued an Amber Warning for potentially damaging winds associated with Storm Darragh, covering all of Cornwall throughout Saturday 7 December.
This will come after a Yellow Warning for wind which comes into effect on Friday 6 December, and will be followed on Sunday 8 December by another Yellow Warning for wind.
According to the Met Office “A period of very strong northerly or northwesterly winds is likely to develop during Saturday as Storm Darragh moves from west to east. Gusts of 70 to 80 mph are likely around exposed coasts and headlands, where some very large waves are likely, whilst gusts of 60 to 70 mph are likely inland. The strongest winds will ease from the west through the afternoon.”
If you are by the coast, stay safe during stormy weather by being aware of large waves.
Please take extra care on the roads – driving in these conditions can be dangerous.
