Hi all,
Things have just got very serious indeed.
Storm Goretti will bring a period of exceptionally strong northwesterly winds to the Isles of Scilly and parts of Cornwall on Thursday evening, with peak gusts of 80-100 mph or more in exposed areas.
Winds are expected to increase rapidly from 30-40 mph with violent gusts that may persist for 2-3 hours before easing.
Winds will remain strong with the broader yellow warning in force until Friday morning.
In addition, very large waves will bring dangerous conditions to some coastal areas.
Please take note if you are in the red zone.
Impact is guaranteed for these areas.
