Met Office experts issued the yellow warning for thunderstorms in the area with heavy rain potentially leading to flooding and disruption.

The warning is in place in Staffordshire as well as central and northern parts of the UK and is due to remain in place for the rest of Sunday.

Experts predict there's a "small chance" homes and businesses could be flooded quickly – with damage to some buildings from water, hail, lightning strikes or strong winds.

Flooding or lighting strikes could lead to cancellations to train and bus services with low-lying roads potentially being flooded, along with the chance of power cuts.
