Residents are being warned over possible flooding due to the heavy rain set to hit the region tonight (Friday, July 18) and throughout tomorrow (Saturday, July 19).
The weather warning is expected to remain in place until 9pm tomorrow.
Residents should expect possible flooding, lightning strikes and power cuts.
On the website, the Met Office said: “Areas of heavy rain with embedded thunderstorms will move northwestwards across a large swathe of central and eastern England through Friday night into Saturday.
“Rain will likely be torrential in places, bringing 20-30 mm in less than an hour, with 60-90 mm in 2-3 hours possible in a few places.
“Whilst more widespread heavy rain will gradually clear northwestwards during Saturday, additional scattered heavy showers and thunderstorms may develop in its wake during Saturday afternoon and early evening, before eventually decaying later.”
