Wind and rain warnings are in force for Teignbridge tomorrow (Tuesday) as another named storm – Francis – is set to hit Devon.

The Met Office has issued a further Yellow Warning, this time covering the whole of Devon from 9am tomorrow until 9am on Wednesday

A spokesperson said: ‘Storm Francis will bring some very strong winds leading to disruption to travel and power supplies along with potential damage to trees.

‘A spell of very strong winds is likely to develop across the southwest of England and Wales later on Tuesday morning, before spreading east across other parts of England and Wales during the afternoon and evening, clearing into the North Sea on Wednesday morning.

‘Gusts are likely to reach 55 to 60mph for quite a few places, with exposed coasts and hills seeing gusts of around 70mph.

‘Whilst not exceptional, winds this strong are unusual for August and they will be accompanied by some heavy rain in places, with possible transport disruption and impacts on outdoor activities.’
