Met Office warns of heavy rain and thunderstorms for parts of Wales

A weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued for parts of Wales as heavy rain is expected throughout the day.

The Met Office said an area of heavy rain with a risk of thunderstorms will hit south east Wales on Monday.

The warning is in place from 10am until 8pm on Monday and covers areas including Swansea, Cardiff and Newport.

The warning says: "An area of heavy rain will turn more showery later this morning, with a risk of thunderstorms developing, which may be slow-moving in some places.

"Heavy showers and thunderstorms clearing away southwards early evening. Around 15-20 mm of rain could fall within an hour and 30-40 mm within three or four hours in a few places. Lightning and hail are also possible."

They say there is a "good chance" driving conditions will be affected and there is the possibility of some flooding.

The weather service said last week that the remnants of Hurricane Dorian could hit the UK this week .

But the weather here is forecast to get better as the week progresses.

Here is what the Met Office forecast says.

Tuesday

The day starts on a cloudy note for many, but sunny spells already in the west will develop more widely elsewhere late morning onwards. Feeling warmer than Monday in light winds. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Wednesday to Friday

Cloud and rain Wednesday morning soon clears to sunshine and showers. Starting dry on Thursday, but rain and breezier conditions spread from the west later. Dry with sunny spells Friday.
