Cornwall was hit by yet more strong winds and heavy rain as Storm Katie moved in off the Atlantic on Sunday.

The Met Office exopects the heavy weather to continue through Monday morning with a risk of localised flooding and possible travel disruptions as the storm passes up the county.

The forecasting agency, which declared a yellow weather warning for the south west region with gusts up to 70mph on the coasts, said the rain is expected to clear northeastwards from south west England by early Monday, and wind should also ease off.

The chief forecaster said: "An area of low pressure is expected to rapidly deepen to the south west of the UK later on Sunday and then run northeastwards across England and Wales on Monday accompanied by some very strong winds, large coastal waves and heavy rain."

"There remains some uncertainty over the track and timing of this system."
