A weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued for large parts of Wales from Tuesday morning.

The Met Office yellow warning comes into force at 09:00 BST on Tuesday and covers north, mid and parts of south-west Wales.

The forecaster warned spray and sudden flooding from rainfall could lead to difficult driving conditions and road closures.

The warning will remain in place until 06:00 on Wednesday.

Anglesey, Gwynedd, Ceredigion, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham are all covered by the warning, as is most of Pembrokeshire and Powys.

It comes a week after parts of Wales were covered by the Met Office's first ever extreme heat warning, with some businesses forced to close due to the hot weather.
