Lightning and rumbles are expected to be heard from 2pm tomorrow, until 5pm. Conditions are set to remain unsettled with storms to lessen towards the weekend with winds also easing.
In the Met Office’s latest week ahead forecast, Senior Presenter and Meteorologist Alex Deakin, said: "We often have one area of high pressure controlling our weather, we've certainly seen that a lot through the summer. But one area of low pressure controlling things for a number of days is fairly unusual."
During the first half of the week, each day will see a mixture of showers or longer spells of rain interspersed with drier periods. Some thunderstorms are expected, which could bring gusty winds and heavy downpours where they form.
Alex added: "By the time we get to Thursday, that low pressure is moving in across the UK. The isobars just perhaps starting to open up in places. It could be quite windy across the southwest on Wednesday night for sure, but otherwise, as this low moves in, what we could see is the showers become more slow moving so they last a little longer and they could drop more rain."
