Severe weather conditions on Snowdon have led to "areas of unstable snow" in several areas which could "lead to serious falls or trigger localised avalanches" and people on the Channel Islands have been warned to "stay home" between 8pm and midnight tonight and "Only call the emergency services overnight if there is a risk to life".

It says Storm Goretti will bring "dangerous stormy winds," starting from 4pm until 11pm today.
The forecaster adds that people should expect "damage to buildings and homes, with roofs blown off and power lines brought down" and "flying debris resulting in danger to life".
Near the coast, very large waves are predicted with potential for beach material to be "thrown onto... roads, sea fronts and homes".
Power cuts are also expected and may affect mobile phone coverage.
The Met Office adds the storm will bring "a period of exceptionally strong northwesterly winds" to the Isles of Scilly and parts of Cornwall," with peak gusts of 80mph to 100mph or more.
