Heavy showers and thunderstorms heading our way

Porthmadog was the warmest place in Wales yesterday and today, along with Eglwyswen in Pembrokeshire, the temperature reached 25°C. Not a record for September but eight degrees above average.

It's been a very dry month so far with only 1mm of rain. In fact it's been the driest start to September for over 50 years. 

The average total rainfall for Wales for the whole of September is 116.6mm.

In the next 24 hours, a few heavy showers and thunderstorms will move north into Wales and the Met Office has issued a yellow warning, but the downpours will be hit and miss.

Some places could have an inch of rain (25.4mm) in a relatively short space of time, while a few miles down the road it could stay bone dry.
