According to the Met Office, the unsettled conditions may impact homes and business with a possibility of damage to buildings and structures due to the flooding.

There is also a chance of short term loss of power and other services on Tuesday.
Sharing the details, the forecaster said: “Showers will develop Tuesday morning, becoming heavy and locally thundery into the afternoon.
“Whilst some areas will miss these, where they do develop they will be slow-moving, bringing 20-30 mm of rain in an hour or two. Strong and gusty winds and hail will also be possible with the heaviest showers. Showers should slowly ease from the west into the evening.”
The weather warning comes as several parts of the UK are likely to be drenched in the rainy conditions with areas around England and Wales covered in the downpours.
