Meteorologists warn that the unsettled conditions may continue into the weekend, with a risk of further warnings being issued as the situation develops.

- Avoid coastal paths during high winds
- Prepare for potential power outages
Emergency services are on standby to respond to any weather-related incidents, and local authorities have implemented flood prevention measures in vulnerable areas.
