The Met Office warn that there could be a “small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes and large hail.”
There may be a chance of travel delays and cancellations to public transport as a result of flooding or lightning.
The warm temperatures are set to continue throughout the weekend and into the next week with highs of over 30 degrees.
