Thunderstorms and lightening with heavy rain set to hit UK

The Met Office have issued a weather warning for Sunday as heavy rain, thunderstorms and lightening are to hit parts of the UK.

The warm weather the UK has seen over the last few days is not going to last, as the mercury is to fall for the week.

The yellow weather warning read, “Whilst some areas will remain dry, a few thunderstorms are expected to break out during the course of the afternoon and early evening before fading later.

“Where thunderstorms do occur, torrential downpours could produce 20-30 mm and possibly as much as 40-50 mm of rain in 2-3 hours.

“Frequent lightning is likely, along with hail and gusty winds in a few places.”
