"Scattered heavy showers, some with thunder, are expected to develop later this morning and into the afternoon, before easing this evening.
"In the most active storms, hail, strong gusty winds, and lightning may be impactful. There is also a chance that a few spots could see frequent, heavy bursts of rain, leading to surface water flooding.”
They warn driving conditions will be affected, leading to longer journeys, and that “delays to train services are possible”.
Strong winds and/or lightning strikes may also cause damage to a few buildings, while short-term power cuts are also “possible”.
