People in areas prone to landslides and falling rocks are advised to exercise caution as soils are becoming saturated.

Rough seas are expected during the next 24 to 48 hours with waves expected to peak up to 13.0ft.

A High Surf Advisory and Small Craft Warning remain in effect until 12 noon, Wednesday 15th January.

All users of the sea and people living and travelling along coastal areas are advised to be vigilant and to exercise extreme caution during the period.

Small craft operators are advised to remain in port and to secure their vessels.

Sea-bathers should stay out of the water.

All loose objects should be secured.
