The latest Met Office forecast for Wales as thunderstorms set to hit on busy day of Jubilee celebrations

A Met Office thunderstorm warning for the majority of Wales has been issued for Sunday as thousands of people are making plans for the last day of Jubilee celebrations and football fans are preparing to watch Wales' crunch match against Ukraine. The yellow warning started at midnight and is place through to 6pm Sunday afternoon.

Areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms that broke out over England and Wales during the early hours of Sunday, moved into the UK from the near-continent. The resulting areas of rain and thunderstorms are expected to be more extensive than those of Friday night and early Saturday.

It comes after homes were flooded after a storm brought a month's worth of rain in just three hours to the Gwynedd town of Criccieth on Friday. Firefighters had to be called in to divert water in the town as drains were blocked and roads closed.
