A few fog patches may pose an additional hazard.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The warning includes all of Devon and Cornwall, with most of Somerset set and large parts of Wales also affected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">On Monday, a heavy rain warning comes into effect at 12pm and remains in place until 9am on Tuesday. The Met Office says there may be a danger to life as a result of deep, fast flowing flood water, which members of the public have been warned not to enter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Up to 50mm of rain could fall across <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.devonlive.com\/all-about\/dartmoor\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"\">Dartmoor<\/a>, meteorologists says, though it adds there is some uncertainty about the forecast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Whilst there is some uncertainty, outbreaks of rain may become persistent on Monday, especially later in the day and overnight, before gradually easing and clearing into Tuesday,&#8221; the Met Office says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Accumulations of 10-20 mm are possible fairly widely, with perhaps as much as 30-50 mm over Dartmoor.
