"Some places staying dry, but scattered thunderstorms may cause flooding and disruption on Sunday afternoon and evening," a spokesperson for the Met Office said.

What to expect

  • Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some temporary road closures;
  • Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services;
  • There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds;
  • There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur, or that other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.
