It covers all of northern England and most of the Midlands too.

The Met Office says: “Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop during Tuesday across much of Wales, northern and central England.

“These will last well into the night across north Wales and north-west England in particular where they could be prolonged in places. 20 to 30 mm of rain is possible in around 1 or 2 hours, and a few places could see around 60 mm in 3 to 6 hours.

“Lightning and hail may pose additional hazards in a few locations.”

More generally the forecast is for showers in York from Tuesday through Friday, with lower temperatures, and a drier but cloudy weekend.
