A flood alert has been issued. The band of heavy rain experienced in the River Axe catchment is expected to clear the area by 10pm tonight. Due to the rainfall, the rivers in the area are now rising. Levels suggest that there will be flooding to low lying land and roads close to the River Axe and River Coly from around 3pm today, with rivers reaching their highest levels between 4pm and 10pm. We expect the river to remain high throughout today although no flooding to properties is forecast and warnings are not expected to be issued. Take care near the areas of concern and monitor your local weather conditions. We are constantly monitoring river levels and will issue further flood warnings if required. This message will be updated on Tuesday afternoon or earlier if the situation changes.

A band of rain will move east across the area through Monday to bring a spell of heavy and persistent rain. Rain will reach Cornwall during Monday morning but won't reach eastern parts of the warning area until Monday afternoon. 20-30 mm of rain is expected to fall widely with as much as 40-50 mm over some hills.
Conditions will likely improve across Cornwall through the afternoon, but will persist across the east of the area until the end of the day.
What should I do?
Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.
Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area. For further details see https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings
