MET OFFICE ISSUES A YELLOW WARNING FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT

The Met Office has issued a Yellow Weather Warning for possible overnight thunderstorms with effect from 18:00 hours this evening until 09:00 hours Wednesday morning.

So if you have garden furniture out that you don't want to get wet, bring it in just in case.

Update: 01:15 hours and it looks like the storm is heading our way. We may not see the worst of it as it tracks to the south east but we do seem to be in its path.

After a fine evening scattered thundery showers will arrive from the south. There will be the risk of hail and some bursts of heavy rain, but it will become drier by dawn. There is a possibility of localised flooding in some areas so be prepared to swim to the offy for milk.

It will be a stuffy and uncomfortable night ahead with a Minimum temperature of 18 °C.

Tomorrow will see a dry day although rather cloudy at first, but with some good sunny spells developing for the afternoon to give very warm sunshine, especially in the south of the area.

Maximum temperature 26 °C.
