It’s due to be a wet and stormy Saturday for Basingstoke, as a Yellow Weather Warning is put in place.

The Met Office says that storms will affect much of England, saying: “Many places missing the worst, but heavy showers and thunderstorms may cause some transport disruption and perhaps flooding.”

It has warned that there may be “longer journey times” on the roads, with train delays and floods a possibility.

However, Sunday is set to be a better day, with a slight chance of showers but otherwise sunny and warm. This should lead to a week of warm weather for the next seven days.
