Cornwall is set to get another battering over the next two days with a second weather warning issued in a week.

Following on from Storm Ellen last week, the team Met Office in Exeter says Storm Francis is set to bring strong winds and heavy rain to the UK.

A severe weather warning for wind is set to become active at 9am tomorrow for 24 hours, having originally been set to last until midday on Wednesday.

The Met Office has suggested that winds could pick up to around 70mph in speed while around 60 to 90mm of rain could fall as Storm Francis moves west to east.

Officials at the Met Office say western areas could see the worst of the conditions.

It has prompted the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to put out another warning for people to stay safe, saying: "Please take good care of yourself, family and friends.

"Keep as far back as you can taking the photos.

"If you see the coastguard rescue officers in high viz conducting safety patrols, listen to their advice. They are there to help, guide and offer safety advice for you and your precious families benefit.

"If you see someone at risk near the coast or sea do not hesitate to call 999 and ask for the coastguard."

The Met Office has warned that Storm Francis will bring some very strong winds, which could lead to disruption to travel and power supplies along with potential damage to trees.

The agency said: "Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible. Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen.

"Road, rail, air and ferry services may be affected, with longer journey times and cancellations possible

"Power cuts may occur, with the potential to affect other services, such as mobile phone coverage

"Injuries and danger to life could occur from large waves and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties."

It follows three days of weather warnings last week for Storm Ellen, which were in place Wednesday and Thursday before being extended to Friday also.
