Some homes might get flooded tomorrow (Friday, June 7) as heavy rain is expected for much of the day.

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for the South West while cautioning that journey times are likely to be affected, as well as some power supplies.

The rain could start as early as 3am, but as the day progresses the chance of wet weather rises above 80 per cent, breaking through the 95 per cent mark by 8am.

Umbrellas and rain jackets will probably be needed throughout the afternoon - and the evening poses a risk too, with the warning in place until 11pm.

It has cast serious doubt over the Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Cricket World Cup match due to take place in Bristol.

The Met Office recommends that drivers slow down when travelling in heavy rain, increasing the gap before the car in front to at least four seconds.

On flooded roads, the Met Office says, motorists should think before driving through deep water and if there is any doubt, they should not enter.

If you have managed to drive through, it is recommended you check your brakes and dry them out as quickly as possible - a light touch of the brakes should do the trick.

Cyclists and pedestrians should be given more room than usual.
