Met Office issues new thunderstorm warning for whole of Wales

The Met Office has issued a second thunderstorm warning for the whole of Wales this weekend. The yellow alert says that high temperatures on Sunday will "trigger" torrential and thundery rain showers across the country.

It covers such a large area because it is difficult to forecast where the thundery showers will fall, but where they do it could see between 30 and 40mm in an hour. The warning, which is in place from noon on Sunday until 9pm, adds: "The odd place, affected by multiple showers, could see more than this, perhaps in excess of 60 mm in a few hours, this being most likely across Wales and central England.

"As well as rain, additional hazards will be hail, strong gusts of wind, and lightning will be additional hazards. Despite this, many places in the warning area will remain dry, or only see small amounts of rain, due to the scattered nature of the heaviest showers."
