Heavy overnight rain likely to cause flooding as Met Office issues Yellow Warning

HEAVY overnight rain is likely to lead to surface water flooding and transport disruption across Teignbridge.

A Yellow Warning has been issued by the Met Office covering from 8pm tonight (Friday) until 8pm tomorrow.

A Met Office spokesperson warned: ‘A band of heavy rain will push into the South West through Friday night which may be heavy enough at times to lead to some surface water flooding.

‘During this time, 15-25 mm is likely across the area, with as much as 40-50 mm across parts of Dartmoor and along the south coast.

‘During Saturday morning, the rain band moves east but is followed by organised bands of some possibly heavy showers into Cornwall and Devon, which may add to rainfall totals.’
