A MET Office yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued for Denbighshire later this week.

The warning is in place from 12pm until 11.59pm on Thursday (August 1).

In the warning, it states that heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop on Thursday and may lead to some disruption.

Elsewhere in North Wales, Flintshire and Wrexham are also said to be likely to be affected.

The Met Office’s warning added: “Heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to break out across parts of England and Wales on Thursday afternoon.

“The exact location of showers is still uncertain, and some places will stay dry all day.

“However, where the showers do occur they could be torrential, with the additional hazards of lightning, hail and gusty winds.

“The heaviest showers could result in 20-30mm within an hour, with 24-hour accumulations possibly reaching as much as 70-90mm where multiple showers affect the same location."
