Cornwall continues to be one of the worst affected areas of Storm Ciaran which has brought with it high winds and heavy rain.

Here's some of the disruption it's caused locally:

Strong winds have felled trees in Penzance, affecting traffic.

At the coast, the high winds are creating massive waves crashing into the sea walls.

The winds have also been causing issues on the railways. People are being advised to secure any loose garden furniture or pay equipment.

Schools across Cornwall have closed their doors. Including Pondhu Primary in St Austell after widespread flooding.
