DAYS after the beginning of the autumn equinox and the battering of West Cornwall with thunderstorms, the season has truly sent its greetings with another yellow warning covering Devon and Cornwall.

The Met Office has confirmed that a yellow weather warning for rain covering the period from 5pm tomorrow (Thursday, September 26) to 10am on Friday, September 27.

A forecaster for the Met Office gave further details, adding: “Whilst some areas will miss the worst, areas of heavy, showery rain are expected to become widespread across a swathe of England and Wales during Thursday evening and on into Friday morning.

“There is some uncertainty in the details, but some locations may see up 20-30 mm of rain in two to three hours and perhaps 40-60 mm in four to six hours. Lightning and strong, gusty winds may be additional hazards, especially in southwest coastal areas. Given the recent very wet weather, this will bring the potential for further flooding and transport disruption. “
