THE Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain in Wales.

The warning is in place from 12pm today to 4pm tomorrow.

A Met Office spokesman said: "Some areas of heavy rain will move north-eastwards during Sunday and into Monday across parts of southern England and Wales with some locally torrential downpours and thunder possible.

"Many areas will see rain at times but the extent of the most intense and thundery downpours will be limited. Only small areas are likely to see these downpours at any one time.

"This could result in some disruption, with sudden flooding of roads, transport routes, homes and businesses possible locally. Frequent lightning in association with the heaviest rain may also temporarily disrupt power supplies. However, given the hit and miss nature of the heavy rain and thunderstorms, many places will likely see little or no impacts."
