UNSETTLED weather conditions are here to stay this week, forecasters say.

Today's unpredictable showers will continue through the night, becoming heavy and frequent tomorrow.

Dry spells will be interrupted by long periods of rain and blustery wind, with thunderstorms expected around lunchtime.

The wet weather is set to continue into the weekend, with mixed sunshine and blustery showers turning into heavy rain on Saturday, and heavy showers predicted for Sunday.

For those planning to head further afield this weekend, the Met Office has issued weather warnings for rain just over the border in Wales and in the North West on Saturday and Sunday.

The warnings do not currently extend to Herefordshire, but we will keep you updated with any changes.
