After downpours and near gale-force winds struck Bristol yesterday (July 10), the Met Office is today forecasting thunderstorms to hit the city this afternoon (July 11). Storms are currently expected to arrive in the city in the evening, following a day of showers and strong, gusty winds.
It comes after a weekend of unsettled weather caused flooding and disruption in other parts of the region. More bad weather followed yesterday, with buckets of rain accompanied by 30mph winds. The only thing missing from the storm was thunder and lightening.
Which the Met Office forecasts for around 6pm tonight. The storms are due to blow in from the south west, coming up from Somerset and Devon.
