“15 to 20 millimetres of rain may fall in less than an hour, with a few places seeing up to 40 mm in two hours but perhaps more widely within a longer period overnight. Where this occurs, there is the chance of some flooding and disruption.”

According to the bulletin, there is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses, and small chance those properties could flood.

It also warns of a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services, and potentially difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
