What to expect from the Met Office thunderstorm warning in Pembrokeshire
The Met Office said the yellow weather warning was due to heavy rain and thunderstorms which could cause "disruptions" across Wales.
There is a chance of flooding, lightning strikes, hail and strong winds as part of this weather warning.
These hazardous conditions could result in road closures, difficult driving conditions and cancellations of train and bus services.
There is a slight chance of power outages and some communities being cut off due to flooded roads.
A Met Office spokesperson added: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop across parts of England and Wales during Sunday, with longer spells of thundery rain in places.
"Whilst many areas will see at least some rain, most will see only relatively small amounts.
"However, some places could see 30 mm in an hour and 60mm in 6 hours, with the potential for frequent lightning, strong winds and hail.
"Where this occurs there is likely to be some disruption.
"While there is a high likelihood that thunderstorms will develop over England and Wales, there remains a large amount of uncertainty in exactly where these develop.
"This uncertainty is likely to remain even up to short lead times."
