“Under the heavier rain some sites could see 30 to 40mm of rain falling in a few hours.
“Once this clears, further heavy showers are expected to break out.
“These will be more hit-and-miss with many sites staying dry following early rain, but where they do occur, there is a chance of 30 to 35mm rain falling in an hour, again accompanied by lightning and hail.”
