The Met Office has today issued a new warning a new yellow warning for severe thunderstorms which are set to hit almost all of England and Wales on Sunday. The alert which runs for the whole day on Sunday from 00.01 am until midnight forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms which will be severe enough to cause disruption.
The country was swept by thunder and lighning last weekend when some flooding was caused and chaos came to airports when planes were unable to land due to serious turbulence. Damage was done by lightning and there were 10,000 strikes estimated in the UK.
The heatwave is causing some extreme weather with temperatures of over 30C and conditions causing thunderstorms to form. The likelihood of a end to this period of hot weather soon is unlikely, the Met Office has said - a heatwave is defined as having temperatures of 25C or more for three days in a row in an area.
