The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for England, affecting Gloucester.

Much of the UK will be affected by the heavy rain, thunderstorms and winds on Wednesday morning and this brief period could cause some disruption.

The warning is in place from 4am to 12pm on Wednesday October 20.

What does the Met Office say?
