Rain will be patchy but heavy between 2pm and 5pm, before drying up for the rest of the evening with hazy, clouded over skies and a breeze of up to 15mph.

The rain will also mark a noticeable cooling in temperatures, as the ongoing heatwave of 25C+ will drop down to a more manageable 22C for the rest of the night and highs of around 19C on Tuesday.

The weather warning is in place for flash floods as dry ground after hot weather has difficulty absorbing water, which could lead to run-offs during the heavy showers.
