A YELLOW warning for thunderstorms is still in place for the Isle of Wight for tomorrow (Wednesday).

The Met Office said while some places stay dry, others are likely to see thunderstorms with torrential rain bringing some disruption.

Jamie Russell of the Isle of Wight Met Service is also predicting rain.

His forecast states: "Morning brightness giving way to another day of showers, perhaps heavier and more widespread than on Tuesday, but again not everywhere seeing these showers and rainfall amounts will be highly variable.

"Later in the day the showers ease and become lighter."
He is forecasting a temperature of 21-23°C, a north-northeast wind of 10-19mph, and 2mm to 15mm rainfall with highly localised amounts.

On Sunday, the Isle of Wight was warned of three days of rainfall ahead.
