Heavy rain, thunderstorms and hail could lead to disruption across large parts of Wales on Sunday, according to a weather warning.

It could also lead to flooding with up to 50mm (2in) of rain in three hours in some places.

A Met Office yellow alert is in place until 23:00 BST.

It covers most of Wales apart from the west coast, Anglesey and Swansea.

"Some intense downpours are possible in a few places... leading to surface water flooding," forecasters said.

"Hail, frequent lightning strikes and strong wind gusts will be additional localised hazards."

It said sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.

"There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost," it added.

"There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life."
