According to The Met Office, these thunderstorms could cause flooding and damage to buildings, whether through floodwater, lightning strikes or hailstones. There may also be some disruption to public transport, especially if there is also flooding.
The Met Office has also warned of spray on the roads and is encouraging drivers to go carefully. Nearby Bradford, Huddersfield and Wakefield are also within the thunderstorm warning.
They said: "High temperatures on Sunday will trigger a scattering of showers across the warning area, some of which are likely to be torrential and thundery, perhaps bringing a few places 30-40 mm in an hour.
"The odd place, affected by multiple showers, could see more than this, perhaps in excess of 60 mm in a few hours, this being most likely across Wales and central England. As well as rain, additional hazards will be hail, strong gusts of wind, and lightning will be additional hazards.
"Despite this, many places in the warning area will remain dry, or only see small amounts of rain, due to the scattered nature of the heaviest showers."
