A yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for parts of Devon and Cornwall.

The Met Office warning came into force at 08:00 BST on Monday and will remain in place until 23:59.

It said between 20-30mm of rain was expected to fall widely in the warning area.

Between 40-50mm of rain could fall over some hills, it said.
