Heavy rain may disrupt travel

Surface water flooding may cause some travel disruption this afternoon as the Met Office issue a yellow weather warning for this afternoon (28 April).

Heavy, thundery downpours are expected to develop from 1pm bringing between 10-15mm of rain within an hour.

Some areas will see 30mm of rain over a longer period  and may be enough to create minor travel disruption from surface water flooding.

The Met Office’s Chief Forecaster, said: “Conditions are unstable at present, and this will allow some heavy showers to develop across parts of Devon and Cornwall on Monday afternoon.

“Southern parts of the peninsula will be favoured as sea breezes meet the prevailing northerly wind, producing some slow-moving, thundery downpours here."

The showers will slowly die out throughout this evening.
