The Environment Agency has warned South West residents to remain on alert for flooding this week.

Over the next three days a LOW flood risk is maintained across the region, with minor disruption likely, and some significant disruption possible, as a result of further outbreaks of rain and showers.

River levels remain high in places, and are likely to rise following further rain, and locally heavy downpours could lead to localised surface water flooding.

The Met Office today forecast yet more rain into the weekend.

Today: Remaining unsettled, with a pulse of heavy rain and showers moving eastwards on strong winds during the morning, with a risk of thunder.

Becoming drier and brighter during the afternoon, with more in the way of sunny spells developing. Maximum temperature 10 °C.

Tonight: Mainly dry at first, however further rain will arrive from the west on strong winds later. The rain will be heavy at times, accompanied by gales around coasts. Minimum temperature 5 °C.
