Met Office issues yellow weather warning for Cornwall

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain for the whole of Cornwall which is expected from 5am on Saturday (November 4) until midnight.

According to the Met Office, the heavy rain could potentially cause spraying and flooding on roads with journey times taking longer and bus and train services possibly be affected with journey times taking longer.

Flooding is also expected in homes and businesses in Cornwall, which could potentially cause further issues in areas which are still flooded following Storm Ciaran on Thursday.

Thousands of homes were left without power, and roads across Cornwall were closed due to large branches and fallen trees blocking access to vehicles.

Schools were forced to close and open later to protect staff and pupils, and Great Western Railway was forced to cancel all rail services in Cornwall because of fallen trees and flooding on lines.
