Warnings over thunderstorms across southern England – and more wild weather later in the week

Thunderstorms are expected to hit the south of England today, bringing the possibility of road closures, power cuts and damage to trees and buildings.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for a band of stormy weather from Exeter in the West across to Norwich in the East.

“A band of thunderstorms will move quickly eastwards,” it said, starting at midday and lasting until about 6pm.

“Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.”

Warnings are already in place for wind and snow in northern Scotland for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Bus, ferry, and train services could be affected, while driving conditions will be particularly affected on higher routes.
