Forecasters have warned of "extensive" thunderstorms and "torrential downpours" over north and mid Wales.

The Met Office said bouts of rain - heavy and thundery at times - could break out on Wednesday, including frequent lightning and a chance of hail.

It added this could lead to localised flooding and disruption to power supplies.

The warning is in place from 03:00 BST on Wednesday until 06:00 on Thursday.

But forecasters added many places would likely see little or no impact, and parts of the warning area will see dry and sunny weather through most of Wednesday.
