The Met Office is running a series of thunderstorms warnings until Monday, August 17 with a risk of impacts from heavy rain, flash flooding, lightning and hail.

Chief Meteorologist Paul Gundersen said: "Today warnings cover much of England, away from the east coast, Wales and parts of Scotland.

"The storms will be isolated but where they happen there will be frequent lightning, gusty winds and intense, heavy downpours with 30 to 40mm of rain possible in less than an hour and, in isolated spots, a small chance of 60 mm falling."

Flooding

Neil Davies of the Environment Agency said: "Isolated thunderstorms could bring sudden surface water and river flooding to parts of England today, which may lead to flooded properties and severe travel disruption in some areas.

"Further surface water and river flooding is also a possibility from Thursday to Sunday.

"Environment Agency teams are working hard alongside local authorities to reduce the risk of flooding and keep communities safe, clearing grills and weed screens in areas which may be affected by heavy showers, and are ready to respond and support where needed.

"We urge people to check their flood risk, sign up for free flood warnings and keep up to date with the latest situation at Gov.uk, call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 or follow @EnvAgency on Twitter for the latest flood updates."
