Storm Eunice has arrived in Bristol and the rare 'red' weather warning from the Met Office is now in full force. A major incident has also been declared in our region.
The exceptionally rare warning for wind in the area was issued yesterday morning and indicated that there is a danger to life if people are caught out in the storm. Wind gusts are expected to reach highs of around 64mph this morning and a tidal surge across coastal parts of the region could result in flooding.
The warning is in place from 7am today (Friday, February 18) until midday as it stands, and covers the western fringe of Bristol including Avonmouth - an amber warning for wind is in place for the rest of the city. Bristol Port is also on 'red warning' alert and has put measures in place to protect safety of staff and visitors.
