Forecast heavy rain on Thursday could exacerbate existing flooding, the Met Office has said. A yellow weather warning for rain in the south west of England has been issued for Thursday afternoon through until early on Friday.

Flooding is continuing to bring disruption in the aftermath of Storm Chandra, especially to parts of south-west England.

As forecasters predict further flooding on Thursday and Friday, fears intensify that the heavy rainfall could bring the worst flooding seen in more than a decade.
