A weather warning has been issued across the South West in the lead up to Christmas.
A yellow warning heavy rainfall has been issued for Wednesday, December 23 and Thursday, December 24 - Christmas Eve.
The warning is in place from 6am on Wednesday until 6am on Thursday with warning of heavy rainfall which may lead to flooding in places and disruption to travel.
What does the yellow warning mean:
- There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
- There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing hazardous conditions
- Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
- Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
- There is a small chance that some communities become cut off by flooded roads
This comes as the temperature is set to drop in some parts of the South West and some flood alerts have been issued across the South West too including the River Wye in Gloucestershire.
