  • Some flooding of a few homes and businesses possible, leading to some damage to buildings or structures
  • Delays to train services are possible

The Met Office said: “Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across southwest England on Sunday evening and move north across parts of Wales and Northern Ireland, clearing during the early hours of Monday morning.

“A separate area of thunderstorms is likely to develop across central southern England late evening, moving north into the Midlands overnight. Whilst some places may not see much rainfall, a few places may see 20-30 mm fall in under an hour. Frequent lightning, hail and locally gusty winds are additional hazards that may accompany stronger thunderstorms, particularly across southwestern parts of England and Wales.”
