Don't risk your life by taking a selfie on the Dorset coast today
A yellow weather warning for strong winds has been issued
A yellow weather warning for strong winds is in place for Dorset.
Gusts are expected to reach up to 70 miles per hour along the coast.
We've contacted Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue, and despite the windy conditions, they report a quiet night.
A spokesman said:
"If you're lucky enough to live near the coast and be in a position to take your exercise there in line with local COVID-19 restrictions, we'd urge everyone to take extra care this week.
"Dress up warmly, take a fully charged mobile phone and stay well back from cliffs and strong waves which can be unpredictable and may well include rocks and debris.
"No matter how dramatic the picture, no selfie is worth risking your life for."
The warning's in place until 3 o'clock this afternoon.
