The weather forecast for this weekend has changed dramatically.
It looks as if the forecasters were just toying with us earlier this week.
The prediction for Welwyn Hatfield and Potters Bar had been nearly universally sunshine from Saturday morning onwards, with mild temperatures.
However, as of today, a yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for all of Saturday and Sunday.
The warning states: “Heavy showers and thunderstorms will affect parts of Southern Britain this weekend.”
This means that there is a small chance that buildings could be flooded quickly or damaged by lightning, hail or strong winds.
There’s also a small chance of fast-flowing floodwater, as well as possible travel delay both on the road and on public transport services.
