Met Office issues thunderstorm weather warning across South West

A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued across parts of the South West of England. The Met Office warning covers areas including Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset.

The warning - which was initially set up for rain before later being updated to thunderstorms - came into effect at 4.39am this morning (June 20) and will continue until 10.30am. The Met Office warns that heavy rain and storms will move north across the area and that some travel disruption is likely.

It states that bus and train services will probably be affected with journey times taking longer or even be cancelled. It also notes that spray and sudden flooding on roads will probably make car journey times longer too.
