The Met Office has issued a weather warning for heavy rain across parts of Herefordshire later today.
The warning, which covers much of south west England, Wales and the Midlands, is valid from 8am-midnight.
The Met Office warning for Herefordshire says:
‘Outbreaks of rain, some heavy and thundery, will spread steadily north across the area during Monday.
‘Some torrential downpours are likely in places with 15 to 20 mm falling in less than an hour and as much as 30 to 40 mm in 3 hours.
‘This is likely to lead to localised flooding, slower travel times and a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded.
‘Some of the heavy rain may be accompanied by lightning bringing a further hazard.
‘The heavy rain will slowly ease after dark.’
