"Where these showers become slow moving, 30 to 40 mm of rain could fall in a relatively short time leading to surface water flooding and transport disruption."

Spray and flooding on roads is expected, potentially making journey times longer, with a small chance of road closures.

Bus and train services may also be affected with journey times taking longer, and dlooding of a few homes and businesses is possible and could cause damage.
