The warning covers most of Cambridge and the western three-quarters of the county, including Peterborough , Huntingdon , Ramsey, St Neots and Sandy. It misses regions to the east, such as March , Ely , Soham and Wisbech .
The Met Office has warned that the rain may lead to some local flooding on Sunday, and laid out the expected movement of rain across the UK: "A period of heavy rain is likely to affect central and southern England and much of Wales during Sunday morning followed by some heavy, thundery showers. "Quite widely, 10-20mm will fall, with locally nearer 30-50mm over high ground, particularly over exposed south or southeast-facing upslopes. It's then possible that a further spell of heavy rain may develop and affect parts of England and Wales on Sunday evening, clearing early Monday.

Given recent heavy rain, this extra rainfall could lead to some local surface water and river flooding."
