The Met Office is warning of the potential for flooding and disruption as another set of weather warnings are issued across England.

A yellow weather warning has been issued for much of the east coast of England, as well as parts of Devon and Cornwall.

The warning will come into force on Saturday evening (February 10) from 7pm and will remain in place until noon on Sunday (February 11).

It comes following a string of weather systems that have hit the UK as the weather becomes more extreme.

The Met Office states on its website of the current weather warnings for the east coast: "Spells of rain leading to some flooding and disruption to travel".

Residents in these areas are being told to expect disruption from transport services, with the potential for homes and businesses to flood.

However, for Devon and Cornwall, the Met Office has warned of heavier downpours that are likely to cause surface water flooding and cause more disruption to services.

Those who are travelling during the time of the weather warning are being urged to take extra precautions and to leave extra time to get to their destinations so they can travel safely.

The UK is continuing to be hit with a series of weather systems, with the Met Office continuing to urge people to be cautious.

Last week, an amber weather warning for snow was issues along the Pennines and in the South Midlands following a clash between Arctic air and a tropical weather system which came by the jet stream.
