Heavy rain :

Thundery downpours expected on Saturday

The Met Office have issued a Yellow (Be Alert) warning valid from 0015 to 2345 on Saturday 7th June

Thundery downpours are expected to affect parts of England, Wales and southern counties of Scotland during Saturday. The public should be aware of the potential for localised flooding due to the intensity of these storms, although at this stage the location of the heaviest rainfall is uncertain.

Warm, humid air is likely to be pulled northwards from France late on Friday and during Saturday. Within this airmass, there is an increasing likelihood that heavy, thundery showers will break out.
