Met Office Chief Meteorologist Dan Suri said: \u201cFrequent heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected for much of Saturday, before they fade from the west during the mid-to-late afternoon. \u201cIt\u2019s possible that 10-15mm of rain could fall in less than an hour, while some places could see 30-40mm of rain over several hours from successive showers and thunderstorms. Frequent lightning, hail, and strong, gusty winds are also possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cA yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued and covers parts of central and southern England and Wales.<\/p>\n
“While brisk winds ensure that most places in the warning area will be hit by showers, not all places will see thunderstorms.<\/p>\n
“In this case it\u2019s difficult to predict where exactly thunderstorms will hit because they are small and fast changing.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne analogy we use to picture the complexity of this forecasting challenge is comparing it to boiling a pan of water and having to guess exactly where and when the bubbles will appear.<\/p>\n
“We know some will, but only in certain places, and that is why thunderstorms are so hard to predict.\u201d<\/p>\n
In Greater Manchester heavy rain is forecast until 1pm on Saturday, replaced by heavy showers across the afternoon. It\u2019s expected to ease into the evening although theres still a strong chance of showers later on.<\/p>\n
Highs of 13C are forecast, although it will feel cooler at 11C. Light showers are forecast on Sunday with temperatures reaching 15C.<\/p>\n
Dry conditions will resume once again on Monday with highs of 16C. Temperatures are expected to rise again throughout the week, peaking at 25C on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
