The heavy showers are moving up from the south and the east, hitting Great Yarmouth and the east coast first before moving inland.

A spokesman for the forecaster said: "There is potential that 30-50 mm could develop in any part of the warning area, much of which could fall in six hours or less.

"Some locations could see 80-100 mm over the course of 12 to 24 hours."

People are urged to be cautious of "spray and sudden flooding" on the roads leading to dangerous driving conditions.
