    The Environment Agency and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) have called for people to stay away from the coasts.

    They also warned wave watchers against the danger of taking "storm selfies".

    On Monday, Andy Wilkinson, Environment Agency duty flood risk manager, said: "Today, Storm Imogen continues to bring large waves and spray to the south and southwest coastal parts of England. Storms can be exhilarating, but please keep safe."

    David Walker, leisure safety manager at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said:



    "While we want people to enjoy Britain's coastlines, it's important to respect the weather, which can get particularly ferocious around the coast.

    "If you get caught up or swept out to sea your life will be at risk very quickly and our rescue services will also be at great risk.

    "Look out for updates from the coastguard and police, and on the Environment Agency website for flood warnings."
