Weather warning for heavy rain in force across Devon
As much as 40 millimetres could fall on Sunday (February 25th)
As much as 40 millimetres of rain could fall across the South West on Sunday (February 25th), according to weather forecasters.
A yellow weather warning from the Met Office came into force across Devon at 6am and lasts until midnight.
The warning says: "Rain is expected to move north-eastwards across parts of south-west England on Sunday morning, persisting through much of the day before slowly dying out later in the afternoon."
It adds that 15mm to 25mm of rain is "likely quite widely" and up to 40mm in a few places, and that "with saturated ground, this may lead to some flooding and disruption".
Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst has urged people to "take care if you are travelling through the day on Sunday across southern counties".
He added: "We are keeping an eye on this area of low pressure as it moves into southern counties of England and Wales over the course of Sunday and into Monday.
"It will bring some heavy rain and some strong winds as well.
"This rain is falling on saturated ground and could lead to some localised flooding problems."
