| Disruption likely after weather warning issued for Devon & Cornwall, Dec 2025 Posted by Chris from Nailsea at 18:10, 14th December 2025 | |
From the BBC:
Forecasters have warned of flooding and travel delays with a weather warning issued for Cornwall and parts of Devon.
The Met Office has put out a yellow warning for rain across Cornwall and in areas such as Plymouth and north Devon from 06:00 GMT until 23:59 on Monday.
The warning said heavy rain was expected to cause delays and flooding in places. It said spray and flooding on roads would "probably make journey times longer and bus and train services probably affected".
The warning said: "A band of rain is likely to become slow-moving across parts of southwest England during Monday.
"Given the recent wet weather and saturated ground, the likelihood of impacts is higher," a spokesperson added.
The Met Office advised people to check if their properties could be at risk of flooding and if so, to prepare a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
The spokesperson said people should amend travel plans if necessary. They added: "Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area."
