Will rain dampen bank holiday weekend plans in Stroud?

As some in the UK brace for storms, we checked if those in the Five Valleys will have to swap their barbecues for brollies as they try to enjoy the extended break.

It doesn’t look good - the Met Office has issued a Yellow warning (be aware of and plan for travel delays) - but fingers crossed.

Saturday, May 26: Threat of thunderstorm all day, with a showery morning. The afternoon should see more sunshine but there is still a thundery threat.

Sunday, May 27: Though very warm on Sunday, heavy showers and slow-moving thunderstorms are expected to develop. Also expect thunder to rumble on through the night.

Monday, May 28: After a cloudy start, sunny spells are set to develop, with the risk of thunderstorm much lower than Sunday.
