The warning comes into force at midnight on Friday and ends at 11:59pm. According to the forecast rain is set to start at around 4pm.

A weather warning is also in place on Thursday which covers a southern part of the city.

There is a chance of travel disruption, power cuts and flooding.

The Met Office says: “Heavy rain will be persistent for some and may be particularly heavy in a few places.

“Rainfall totals of 15-30 mm are expected widely, however, the wettest areas are likely to see 40-60 mm through the whole of Friday with a lower likelihood of a few areas seeing as much as 75-100 mm.

“This heavy rain follows on from an expected wet day across some similar areas on Thursday which will increase the likelihood of impacts. There is also the potential for further spells of heavy rain across parts of the south over the weekend.”
