Met Office rain warning for southern England extended

The Met Office warned of disruption to public transport services, flooding to homes and businesses and “difficult driving conditions”.

It added there could be “brief interruption to power supplies” and other services.

In January, Storms Ingrid and Chandra led to flooding across parts of the South West, including in Devon and Cornwall.

Weather conditions in the storms also led to part of Teignmouth Pier getting washed away and a partial collapse at the sea wall protecting the rail line in Dawlish.
