Strong winds and rain are likely to bring disruption to travel on Sunday as Storm Ciara is expected to hit the South Hams.The Met Office has issued several National Severe Weather Warnings this weekend saying there is a "possibility of injuries or danger to life from flying debris."

Storm Ciara will bring strong winds, heavy rain and potentially some disruption to travel throughout the South Hams on Sunday.

The Yellow weather warning was due to come into effect at 6pm on Saturday but is now forecast for midnight on Sunday and will remain in place until midnight Monday.

What to Expect

Injuries and danger to life from flying debris are possible

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

Some damage to buildings, such as tiles blown from roofs, could happen

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

Some roads and bridges may close

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

In anticipation of Storm Ciara and the predicted rough weather in the coming days, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is urging people to stay safe near the coast as severe weather could make our seas and coastlines particularly dangerous.

Regional Water safety lead Guy Addington said: "‘This rough weather could make visiting our coasts around the UK and Ireland treacherous and bring very dangerous sea conditions."

"Sadly, around 150 people accidentally lose their lives around UK and Irish waters each year and over half of these people didn’t plan on ever entering the water.

"Slips, trips and falls can be a major factor in these kinds of incidents.

"If you see someone else in danger in the water, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. ’If you have something that floats that they can hold on to, throw it to them. Don’t go in the water yourself – too many people drown trying to save others.”
