The Met Office says the weather could cause trouble on the roads, as well as delays to train services.

“There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water, leading to longer journey times by car and bus,” weather forecasters say.

There is also the chance a few homes and businesses could flood, leading to some damage to buildings or structures.

The wet weather on Friday could also see a few buildings and structures damaged by lightning strikes, as well as short-term loss of power.
