People in the county are being told to swap suncream for umbrellas tomorrow as heavy showers come to the UK.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the change in weather.

It comes just a day after a heat-health alert was issued for this weekend, with temperatures set to reach almost 30 degrees.
