Yellow weather warning issued for North Wales with thunderstorms expected

A yellow weather warning has been issued covering the whole of North Wales as thunderstorms are expected to hit the region.

The Met Office has advised stormy weather is likely to arrive from 10am on Friday with a warning in place until 11.59pm.

The national weather service said slow moving thundery downpours may cause localised surface water problems.

There is a small chance that some homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage caused to buildings by floodwater.

The Met Office said: “Heavy showers are expected across much of the UK on Friday.

“Within the warning area these showers and thunderstorms will be slow moving and may cause localised surface water impacts.

“Rainfall totals will vary considerably and not all locations will be affected by the heaviest showers.

“However, where the showers do occur there is potential for 20-30mm of rain in a short space of time and during the course of the day there is a chance that some places could see as much as 80-100mm build up.”
