The Met Office has issued yet another yellow weather warning for the region in the wake of Storm Eowyn. A 24-hour weather warning for wind has been issued, which will come into effect just 17 hours after the current warning for wind.
Forecasters at the Exeter-based Met Office have warned of widespread disruption at the start of next week. The new yellow warning for wind is in place from 6am on Monday (January 27) until 6am Tuesday (January 28).
Coastal areas and seafronts will likely be affected by spray and large waves. Road, air, rail and ferry transport will see disruptions, delays or cancellations. Forecasters have also warned that some properties may lose power and other services, such as phone coverage, through the weather warning.
The Met Office has said that the region is likely to see south westerly winds reach up to 70mph. Winds are forecast to east from Tuesday morning.
A yellow warning for rain is also in place for the South West this weekend. The rain warning, from 8am on Sunday (January 26) is in place until 6am on Monday (January 27). Forecasters have predicted that spells of heavy rain may lead to localised flooding.
It is thought that some places may see up to 80mm of rain tomorrow, adding to the recent rainfall and posing a risk of floods. The Met Office added that there is a small chance of fast flowing, or deep floodwater which may pose a danger to life.
