It should start off bright and dry in the area this morning, but don’t rely on it staying that way.

Clouds should increase throughout the morning and spells of rain are set to hit in the afternoon, with southerly winds strengthening.

The rain is set to become heavier this evening just to prove what British summertime is all about.

Once again there is heavy traffic on the M25 due to a broken down car between junctions for Enfield and Potters Bar, but all lanes have been reopened.

Movement is said to be slow on Eastebury Road, Watford and on London Road near the Berkhamsted/Bourne End.

Travellers are advised of the usual delays on the North Circular and heavy traffic is reported in Borehamwood.
