Met Office issue yellow weather warning for parts of UK as 80mm of rain expected

On December 7, 2025 the Met Office issued yellow weather warnings for the south‑west of England and Cumbria, alerting to heavy rain and strong winds in those areas.
The Met Office forecast says `Outbreaks of rain will become persistent and heavy on Monday night into Tuesday morning` with 20-40 mm likely in many places and 60-80 mm over Dartmoor and high ground in Wales.
Spray and flooding on roads will probably extend journey times, bus and train services are probably affected, and some interruption to power supplies and flooding of homes and businesses is possible.
Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions and bus and train timetables, amending travel plans, and preparing a flood plan and emergency flood kit with torches, batteries and a mobile phone power pack.
Worst‑case rainfall paired with strong southerly winds could increase flood risk, with a small chance of 80-100 mm on the most exposed, prone hills and strengthening southerly winds worsening impacts.
