The Met Office today released a yellow warning for rain across Wiltshire between Sunday and Monday.

A band of heavy rain is likely to spread across the county with some areas experiencing "some locally torrential downpours" and possible thunder.

The Met Office believes this could result in "some disruption" with flash floods in roads, affecting transport homes and businesses.
