The Met Office has issued two weather warnings for today and tomorrow (Saturday, June 14) over Wales.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms may lead to some disruption this evening.
The Met Office’s yellow warning kicks in at 6pm this evening and lasts until 6pm the following day (Saturday).
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “Areas of heavy rain and some thunderstorms are likely to move northwards into southwest England and Wales on Friday evening.
“Rainfall amounts and thunderstorm activity will vary across the area however there is the potential for 20 mm of rain to fall in an hour and 30-40 mm to fall in 3 hours or less in a few places. As well as this there is a small chance of frequent lightning and hail within the rain area as additional hazards.
“Areas of heavy rain and some thunderstorms will move northwards across areas of England and Wales early on Saturday, reaching parts of southern Scotland later in the morning. After this first batch of rain moves north, further heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to break out in its wake.
“Rainfall will vary across the warning area and some places will avoid the heaviest rain. However, 10-20 mm of rain is likely to fall in some places in an hour or less, with potential for 30-50 mm to accumulate in a few hours. Event rainfall could reach 60-80 mm in some locations. Strong gusts and hail may also accompany some of the thunderstorms.”
This warning has a very low likelihood and a medium impact.
