    Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop on Wednesday and may cause some flooding and travel disruption.

    Where they do develop they could be slow-moving and persistent with as much as 20-25 mm of rain falling within an hour and possibly 40 mm in 2-3 hours in a few places. Lightning and hail will be additional hazards.

    What to expect

    • Probably some damage to a few buildings and structures from lightning strikes
    • There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus
    • Delays to train services are possible
    • Some short term loss of power and other services is likely
