The West Country is set for another spell of very unsettled weather, with the Met Office warning there is a risk of heavy rain and strong winds developing on Friday into Saturday. Areas of low pressure will approach off the Atlantic to bring a sequence of wet and windier conditions, firstly during Thursday and again later on Friday into Saturday. The system arriving on Friday has greater potential for causing disruptive weather across southern England.
