Met Office yellow weather warning issued for Watford

The forecaster says a “band of squally, thundery rain” is likely to push through the region tomorrow morning (November 14).

The warning had been in place between 5am and 12pm, with “torrential downpours bringing 15-20mm of rain in a short period of time”. However, the forecaster has now extended the warning until 3pm today.

“Showers will likely be accompanied by thunder and lightning,” a statement reads on the Met Office website. “Gusts of winds to 40-50mph are also likely, as is hail.

“The last of the showers should clear into the North Sea late Tuesday morning.”

Explaining the extension, it added: "The warning area has been adjusted to focus on southern and southeast England, with the end time delayed until mid afternoon."

It follows an unsettled start to the week, with Storm Debi sparking an amber warning in central and northern England.
