Yellow warning for heavy rain

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain has been issued by the Met Office.

Forecasters say heavy rain will affect areas including Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire.

An area of rain is expected to move northeastwards across much of England on Tuesday, with thunder in a few places. 15-25 mm of rain is likely quite widely with up to 40 mm in a few places, leading to some flooding and disruption.

However, there is a small chance that this rain will especially intense in a few places with 50-70 mm possible, and more significant disruption where this occurs.

The warning will be in force from 6am on Tuesday until 11:59pm.
