The Met Office thinks that Southampton could avoid the worst of rains this weekend as a yellow thunderstorm warning has been issued.

Coming into force at midnight on Saturday, the warning will stay in effect until 9pm on Saturday, with the national weather experts warning that fast-flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing a "danger to life".

An amber warning for thunderstorms has been issued for part of Hampshire, including Gosport.

But the latest forecast from the Met Office suggests that Southampton might escape the torrential rain this weekend.
