Insight Jo Farrow Weather forecaster
Weather forecaster Jo Farrow said: “After Saturday’s clear blue skies and sunshine, Sunday has brought a change in the weather with cloudy skies and more of a breeze.
“The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning across Britain with the threat of heavy downpours, even thunderstorms. Warm and humid air is being drawn northwards so it will feel close and muggy overnight, and on Monday.
“There will be plenty of low cloud and mistiness with outbreaks of rain. These will be heavy and slow-moving but some areas will miss the showers.
“The warning area extends into northeastern Scotland on Monday as pulses of heavy rain continue to feed up from the south and an Atlantic weather front joins from the west.
“There is the risk of localised flooding and lightning at times with the main area of rain clearing away from Aberdeenshire and the Northern Isles on Monday night.
