Watford residents can expect a mixed forecast today, as it looks like four seasons of weather will hit the region in just one day. 

Whilst the start of the week offered cooler settings and cloudy skies, the latest weather is set to make Watford feel tropical. 

Weather forecasters, including the BBC and the Met Office, have forecast that thunder and rain will hit the region today (July 12). 

The exact time Watford forecast to get thunder and rain

Although today will start off warm, with averages of 19C and cloudy skies, the day is set to take a turn. 

The Met Office predicts that from 5pm Watford will get heavy thunder, dark clouds and rain. 

The forecasters expect that the thunder will last until 6pm, whilst the rain will continue until 8pm. 

BBC Weather suggests similar conditions, with rain and thunder to begin a 12pm for an hour, before starting again at 5pm until 6pm.

Whilst times on when the thunder and rain will start vary between the two weather forecasters, both suggest that the rain will calm down from 7pm. 

Discussing today's weather, a Met Office spokesperson said: "Dry and largely sunny at first but becoming breezy with sunny spells and scattered showers, heavier and more frequent in the afternoon. The odd rumble of thunder possible. Windier and feeling cooler along south coastal parts. Maximum temperature 23C."
