Amber weather warning for Cornwall this weekend


An amber weather warning has been issued for Cornwall this weekend with potentially damaging winds expected during Storm Darragh.


The warning is for tomorrow (Saturday 7 December) from 1am to 9pm.



• Flying debris likely that could cause injuries or danger to life


• Probably some damage to buildings like tiles blown off roofs


• Longer journey times and cancellations likely, as road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected


• Some roads and bridges likely to close, with falling trees a potential danger


• Power cuts likely with potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage


• Injuries and danger to life is likely from large waves and beach material being thrown onto coastal roads, sea fronts and properties


As we're expecting gale forces winds do not go out unless you really have to, and if you are driving, make sure you drive to the conditions, and not to the speed limit. Plan your route, listen out for travel updates, and make sure you have essentials with you in the car - warm clothing, food, water, blanket, torch, etc.


Please keep up-to-date with weather forecasts on the warnings and advice pages of the MET Office website as the situation could change.


If you spot a safety issue on the highway, please report it to our 24 hour service on 0300 1234 222 and give details of the issue and the location.
