It looks to be a wet bank holiday weekend as the heavy and thundery showers are predicted.

The Met Office has issued a yellow alert of rain South East England including Hampshire from 11am tomorrow through to 9am on Sunday.

Despite the sunny weather that has shown throughout the week, forecasters say that 'thundery showers are likel to move northwards into some southern parts of England during Saturday morning.

The weather experts predict that they will become more widespread and heavy over central UK throughout the day and night into Sunday morning.

They have also warned that this may disrupt local traffic and 'in particular, be aware of the potential for some spray and standing water on roads, and the possibility of road closures.' 

The chief forecaster's assessment states:"There remains a lot of uncertainty in where the heaviest and most prolonged thundery showers will occur, with some places in the warning area having only small amounts of rain, however, there is a risk of some locally large rainfall totals, with 25 to 50 mm of rain possible in places."
