Cornwall is set to be battered by Storm Katie in the early hours of tomorrow (March 28).

Katie is set to bring heavy rain on Easter Monday, with gales of up to 70mph, the Met Office said.

A national severe weather warning for strong winds has been issued, with southern England and South Wales likely to bear the brunt.

The Met Office said: ‘Exposed south and west-facing coasts could even see gusts of around 70mph, with the possibility of large waves.

‘We expect the winds will start to ease in south-western Britain from mid-morning, this improvement reaching other areas by late afternoon or early evening.’

There is uncertainty about the track Storm Katie will take, so the Met Office has advised people to look out for the latest information.
