A yellow warning for Rain has been issued by the Met Office as Thunderstorms and heavy rain heads for Ayrshire!
The yellow warning is valid from now until 11pm with high winds and frequent lightning also expected.
Further, possibly severe, thunderstorms may break out again this afternoon and evening, probably focused over parts of northeast Wales, central and northern England. Some heavy, thundery rain may also spread into parts of southwest Scotland by this evening although the risk of disruption is lower here than further south. Although some places will miss the thunderstorms, there is a chance of localised sudden flooding of homes, businesses and roads. Frequent lightning and large hail may be additional hazards, the latter bringing potential for disruption to power networks.
This warning has been updated to shrink the south of the yellow area (where the risk of disruption in now reducing) whilst also to extend it further north across northern England and into southwest Scotland. The end time has also been extended a little. Chief Forecaster's assessment Although many places are likely to miss the worst of the rain, intense downpours associated with the thunderstorms may give over 30 mm in an hour locally and perhaps more than 50 mm in 2 or 3 hours. As is usual in this type of situation there is uncertainty in the worst affected areas.
