The RNLI in the south west is urging those near the coast or inland waterways to be aware of the dangers stormy weather can bring.
It says those in exposed locations should be extra vigilant and not take unnecessary risks.
Joel Ninnes, RNLI water safety manager, says: "Sadly the south west has been hit by a succession of storms already this month, and we are bracing ourselves for the impact of Storm Chandra.
"With the ground already sodden, cliff edges are unstable and coastal structures already undermined by recent strong winds and rough seas.
"Our advice is to keep well away from cliff edges and sea fronts."
Ninnes says all the recent rainfall means rivers are flowing at a much higher rate and river banks are especially slippery and eroded in places.
"If you do plan to visit the coast or a waterside location, we urge you stay a safe distance from the water as conditions could knock you off your feet or wash you into the sea and keep a safe distance from wet and slippery edges, let someone know where you are going and carry a means of calling for help," he says.
In Cornwall there are flood warnings, external in place at the following locations:
