The Met Office has issued a new warning for gale force winds across the county this morning as Storm Eleanor passes by after battering the UK.

A yellow alert has been issued across Cornwall with high winds expected to continue until 7pm this evening.

Gusts of up to 80mph are expected to hit the north coast.

A spell of strong and gusty winds is expected to move eastwards during Thursday. Some delays to road, rail, air and ferry transport are likely with some journeys taking longer.

Delays for high-sided vehicles on exposed routes and bridges are also possible. There is also the potential for some short term loss of power supplies. It is likely that some coastal routes, seafronts and coastal communities exposed to these winds will be affected by spray and/or large waves.

Chief Forecaster's assessment reads: "The strongest winds will affect southwest England and Wales during the morning, moving east to reach eastern parts of England later in the afternoon.

"Gusts of 50-60 mph are likely fairly widely with some gusts reaching 65-75 mph along exposed coasts and over high ground in the west."

Flood warnings are still in place for the north Cornwall coast from Lands End to Chapel Porth.

Skybus flights between Newquay Airport and St. Mary's Airport currently on hold due to strong winds.
