The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain across Cornwall this weekend.
The warning is in place from 3pm tomorrow (Saturday, February 16) until 6pm on Sunday.
It is predicted that heavy showers will hit the Duchy along with much of the UK, causing potential travel disruptions, and in some places the risk of flooding.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “An area of persistent and occasionally heavy rain is expected to move from west to east across the warning area during Saturday and Sunday, falling on already saturated ground.
"Rain will clear western areas early Sunday, whilst the rate of clearance from east and southeast England is open to some uncertainty, but all areas should become dry by evening.”
The Met Office is also advising what to do in heavy rain. A spokesperson said: “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.”
This is the second yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office this week. On Wednesday, another warning for heavy rain was issued for much of Cornwall.
