Downpours to start holiday weekend for some

A yellow warning for a "prolonged spell" has been issued for today in south-west England by the Met Office, meaning difficult driving conditions with some disruption to travel likely.

The warning, affecting Cornwall, Devon, Plymouth and Torbay, is in place from 6pm through to 9am tomorrow, during which up to 75mm of rain could fall. Residents have been advised by the forecaster that flooding of som some homes and businesses is possible, along with longer journey times for travellers.

The downpours may also be accompanied by windy conditions, the Met Office added.

This comes after a flood warning was issued earlier this week in Devon following a night of heavy rain in the county.
