A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts of southern England on Saturday night (August 31).

But by Sunday (September 1) the risk of storms will move northwards through the afternoon and into the early evening, according to the Met Office.

The weather forecasters say there is a 'small chance' of flooding and disruption from heavy rain and thunderstorms.
