A yellow weather warning is in place for most of the country all day.
The Met Office is advising of “heavy rain and thunderstorms” leading to a chance of flooding and disruption today.
The warning was in place from 4am this morning and will be in place until 5am tomorrow.
The forecaster says driving conditions could become difficult due to spray and flooding and there is a small chance of flooding to homes.
A spokeswoman said: “A band of heavy rain will move northwards through Sunday morning, followed by scattered heavy showers and isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon.
“Further heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible during Sunday evening and night, particularly across eastern parts of England, easing later. 10-20 mm of rain is likely in one to three hours in many areas, with 30 mm in a few places through the morning.
“However, where thunderstorms occur during the afternoon, evening and overnight, there is a small chance of 20-30 mm falling within an hour and as much as 60 mm in two to three hours, along with lightning and a chance of gusty winds and hail, this most likely across eastern parts of England.”
Public transport could be affected and there is a slight chance of power cuts
