A mixed bag of weather is coming to Richmond over the next few days.

Starting today (Wednesday, December 23), a weather warning for rain is in place and has been updated by the Met Office.

It became active at 6am and runs until 2am on Thursday. Although the rain held off this morning in Richmond, it is just starting to fall and we can expect the rest of the day to be damp.

Thundery showers are possible until 2pm. Thick cloud will then bed in and light rain showers are then expected until past midnight.

Temperatures will drop tomorrow for Christmas Eve to a maximum of 5C and it's a similar forecast for Christmas Day - but the sun is set to shine.
