Take extra care as Storm Austen and Storm Boelo approach ⚠️

Storm Austen is set to arrive overnight and into the morning of Friday 23 October. An amber weather warning for wind has been issued for Cornwall, the Isles of Scilly and parts of west Devon, with further weather warnings in place across the UK.

Over the weekend, Storm Boelo will bring more strong winds and heavy rain, with the strongest winds expected across Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England.

Check the latest weather forecast and warnings before heading to the coast. If conditions are unsafe, save your trip for another day.

Always stay away from cliff edges as sudden gusts can cause you to lose your balance. Avoid the base of cliffs as rocks can fall without warning and watch out for flying debris.

In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Storm Austen is set to bring disruptive wind and rain ⚠️

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for wind across parts of southern England and Wales for Friday 23 October.

Gusts could reach 50-60mph, and coastal and exposed areas could see 70mph or more.

Stay safe at the coast:

• Stay away from cliff edges as sudden gusts can cause you to lose balance

• Avoid standing directly beneath cliffs as rocks and debris can fall

• Keep back from the shoreline and look out for large breaking waves

Visit the HM Coastguard website for more advice on staying safe at the coast.

If you see someone in difficulty at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Never drive through flood water 🚗

Just 30cm (1ft) of moving water can be enough to float a car.

If a road is flooded, don’t risk it. Turn around and find another route. The water could be deeper and faster flowing than you realise.

If you get stuck in flood water by the coast or see someone in trouble, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.

Stuck in the mud? 🥾

Mud can quickly become dangerous, especially near open water and when the tide is rising.

Check local warnings signs before setting off and avoid walking across muddy areas, as hidden channels of fast-flowing water can be difficult to spot.

If you become stuck:

• Sit back and spread your weight evenly across the surface

• Tell others not to attempt a rescue, as they could become stuck too

• Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard

Public Notice – Norfolk Multi-Agency Training Exercise

On Saturday 17 October 2026, between 8:00am and 2:00pm, you may notice an increased presence of emergency service personnel, vehicles and rescue assets around the Mundesley and Bacton coastline.

This is a planned multi-agency training exercise involving HM Coastguard, RAF Mountain Rescue and Mundesley Independent Lifeboat, working together to practise their response to coastal emergencies.

There is no cause for concern, and while you may see simulated rescue activity taking place, this is purely a training exercise designed to help emergency services maintain their skills and strengthen their ability to respond when real incidents occur.

If you're visiting the area, please give crews space to work and follow any safety advice provided on the day.

Thank you for your support as we continue to train and work together to keep our coastal communities safe.

Found something unusual on the beach?

Although rare, it could be unexploded ordnance.

Stormy seas, bad weather and high tides can uncover objects that have been hidden for many years.

Ordnance can come in many shapes and sizes, so if you spot something you’re unsure about, don’t touch or move it.

Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard. We’ll work with the relevant authorities to make the area safe and ensure the object is dealt with correctly.

Enjoy your coastal walk, but remember to stick to signposted paths 🚶🍂

Going off the path could take you across unstable ground or too close to cliff edges. Rain can make the ground slippery, and unexpected gusts of wind could cause you to lose your balance.

Unofficial routes to beaches or hidden coves could also leave you cut off by the incoming tide, with no safe way back.

Remember to check the weather forecast and tide times before heading out.

In an emergency at the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
