The Met Office warns that 'heavy showers and thunderstorms may lead to some disruption to travel'.The warning states: "Showers developing later on Tuesday morning, becoming heavy with some thunderstorms through the afternoon and early evening. Some of these will be slow-moving with lightning, hail and also heavy rain and a few places seeing 20-30 mm of rain in one hour.
In our region, rain is most likely to fall from around 6pm this evening. Before then, largely cloudy weather is forecast. It comes after temperatures so far this month have been a few degrees below their seasonal average, affecting small businesses which rely on tourism or high street foot traffic at the start of summer.
