Written by on 30/05/2018

A yellow weather warning for rain is in place for Lancashire and parts of Cumbria on Friday (1st June) between  and 

An area of thunderstorms across southern England and Wales is expected to move northwestwards towards Northern Ireland during Friday morning. This then replaced by scattered thunderstorms across southern, central and northwest England, plus Wales and Northern Ireland by the afternoon and persisting into the early evening. These are likely to bring torrential rain to some places with the potential for 20-30mm of rain to fall in an hour and perhaps as much as 60mm in a few hours. Frequent lightning and large hail are also possible.

A yellow weather warning is the lowest level of weather warning issued by the Met Office. More information on weather warnings can be found on the Met Office website.
