A chief forecaster at the Met Office said the South West was in for wet and windy weather this week and predicted wind speeds of up to 60mph.

He said: “An active frontal system will move in from the West. 20 to 40mm of rain seems likely with up to 60mm possible. This will be accompanied by strong winds with gusts up to 50 to 60mph. This is likely to bring down leaves which may lead to blocked drains.
