Localised surface water flooding is likely where the heaviest rain occurs.
The warning is valid until 9am on Wednesday.
The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “A frontal zone will bring spells of rain to many areas today.
A national homebuilder is continuing to lay foundations for success in the South West with continued growth, and commitment to a long-term apprenticeship scheme. With regional offices already in the Midlands and the South East, Bovis Homes opened its Exeter office in 2013 with just six members of staff. Now, with more than 100 staff based in Exeter and its surrounding developments in locations like Cranbrook, Ottery St Mary, Dawlish and Teignmouth, the national homebuilder is expanding its apprenticeship scheme, firmly concreting its position in the South West with the promise of...

New research from the MS Trust surveyed over 1,800 people living with MS. It found that too many people living with progressive forms of MS feel they are getting a second class service, and many feel abandoned by their specialists.
People with progressive MS make up almost half of the UK’s 100,000 MS population. But 40% of them haven’t seen an MS specialist nurse in the past year and 45% haven’t seen a neurologist. By contrast, people with relapsing remitting MS see their specialists far more often. Worryingly, 12% of people with progressive MS haven’t seen any kind of specialist...

Hat-trick hero Jack Nowell says Exeter Chiefs cannot afford to let their standards slip as the quest for glory in this season's Aviva Premiership cranks up another notch. The Cornishman was in devastating form on Saturday, helping himself to three of Exeter's ten tries in their 62-24 demolition of Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop. That success not only ensured Rob Baxter's side ended the scheduled top flight season on a significant high, but it guaranteed the Chiefs second spot in the table and a home semi-final against Wasps in the end of season play-offs. England international Nowell...
