A MET Office yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued for parts of North Wales.

The warning is in place from 1-10pm today (Monday, May 16).

The Met Office says scattered thunderstorms will develop on Monday afternoon, bringing some disruption to travel in places.

Conwy, Denbighshire, Anglesey and Gwynedd are among the regions likely to be affected.

The Met Office’s warning added: “During Monday afternoon, thunderstorms are likely to develop over parts of Wales and the Midlands, before moving northwards into northern England and develop over Northern Ireland.

“These are likely to bring some heavy rain to places with 20 mm of rain possible in one to two hours, but also the risk of hail and thunder.

“The thunderstorms will clear from the south during the afternoon then die out altogether into the evening.

What to expect:

• There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus.

• Delays to train services are possible.

• Some short-term loss of power and other services is likely.

• A chance of some flooding of homes and businesses or some damage to a few buildings or structures from lightning strikes.
