Rain warning for parts of England already suffering from 'saturated ground'

The Met Office warns of 30-50mm rain on already saturated ground, with 57 flood warnings active, increasing flood and travel disruption risks across South West England.

  • From midday on Monday the Met Office issued a yellow rain warning for Cornwall, Devon, and borders Somerset until 9am on Tuesday.
  • Because river levels are high and soils sodden, recent heavy rain has left areas with saturated ground, increasing flood risk.
  • Somerset Council said yesterday roughly 800 rubbish collections and 4,000 recycling collections were left incomplete, and around 50 properties have been reported flooded.
  • The National Emergency Co-ordination Group met on Friday, and the Environment Agency says pumps have been deployed with emergency response payments and local council welfare checks available.
  • Forecasters expect 10-20mm of rain widely and 50mm over Dartmoor, with 57 flood warnings and 117 alerts as of Saturday evening, amid ongoing flood risk.
