The Met Office has issued a ‘yellow’ warning for Friday and in to Saturday.
It may be high summer but forecasters say tomorrow will see a band of heavy rain, followed by showers or thunderstorms which could bring flooding, damage and disrupted transport.
Slow-moving heavy and thundery showers are also now expected on Saturday, which may produce torrential downpours causing disruption to travel and flooding.
The Met Office says there is a small chance of damage to buildings from floodwater or lightning strikes.
There could be power cuts and some communities could become cut off by flooded roads.
