The Met Office has a yellow thunderstorm warning in place across parts of Kent and Medway, in south-east England, this morning. It comes as London Mayor Sadiq Khan warned that “parts of London are still flooded or at risk of flooding”, following sudden downpours on Wednesday.
The Environment Agency issued 17 alerts, covering London and parts of the south, stating that “flooding is possible”. The Met Office warning said there was a small chance of showers continuing to form over the north Kent coast and feed inland overnight into today (Thursday).
It said: “Where these do occur 30mm of rain is possible in an hour and 40-50mm in a few hours, with the small chance of some disruption. Lightning and hail may also be additional hazards.
