The Met Office has issued a weather warning for thunderstorms.

Forecasters have put the yellow weather warning in place from 12pm on Sunday, May 26 to 8pm the same day. It covers the whole of Merseyside and the majority of the North West.

The weather warning is in place due to "slow-moving heavy showers and thunderstorms which may cause flooding and disruption in places". Temperatures will reach highs of 16C on Sunday.

• There is a small chance that some communities become temporarily cut off by flooded roads
• Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services
• There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost

The outlook on Monday looks clearer with some sunshine and showers. The Met Office said it could merge with longer spells of rain. Temperatures will be average on Monday, they said.
