Be cautious today....might be better to do buckets at the sauna for cool downs!
Visitors to the south-west coast are being advised to take extra care this week as strong swells are forecast to affect parts of the coast of Cornwall, Devon and south Wales.
Storms in the Atlantic and spring tides are likely to combine to generate large waves as well as higher than usual water levels from late Monday afternoon (25 August) into Wednesday (27 August).
Strong waves and currents could lead to people being swept out. Tides will also reach higher with the chance of people being cut off.
Follow our simple guidance to ensure you have a fun day and come home safe:
β’ Visit a lifeguarded beach where possible ποΈ
β’ Pay attention to flags on the beach π©
β’ Check the tide times and conditions π
β’ Carry a charged-up mobile phone π±
If you see an emergency by the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
