The warning affects much of southern England

Further spells of heavy rain are forecast for Devon and Cornwall this week.

A yellow Met Office warning for rain is in force for the south of England from midday on Thursday until 03:00 GMT on Friday.

It follows travel disruption and hundreds of flood warnings due to Storm Henk.

Between 20-30mm of rain is anticipated to fall for between six and nine hours, with some areas seeing up to 50mm.

The weather is expected to have a greater impact due to the current saturated ground across the region.

The Met Office has advised there is a slight chance of power cuts, additional flooding and road closures.

Where flooding occurs, there is also likely to be delays or cancellations to train and bus services.
