Met Office Weather Warning Comes Into Force For the Isle Of Wight

A Met Office yellow weather warning for thunderstorms is now in place for the whole of England - including the Isle of Wight.

The Island could see some heavy rain in the coming days, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

The Met Office said:

"Whilst some places will miss them, thunderstorms and areas of heavy rain will develop quite widely on Wednesday across the southern England.

"20-30 mm of rain is possible within an hour, but where areas of thundery rain become slow-moving, some places could see 60 mm in less than three hours.

"A few spots could see more rainfall than this still, whilst hail and lightning may be additional hazards."

The weather warning is in place until midnight Wednesday.
