Met Office issues yellow thunderstorm warning for Bristol and South West

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of thunderstorms for Bristol. Large areas of the South West and South Wales could be in for a soaking today, June 21, as thunderstorms and heavy rain are set to sweep the region from midday until 7pm.

Areas affected by the yellow warning include Bristol, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire, Devon, Cornwall, and the lower half of Wales. Parts of Dorset and Herefordshire may also receive heavy rain and thunderstorms.

"Some flooding and disruption" could be caused by the unsettled weather, the Met Office has warned. The UK's national weather service has also said that travel times via bus and car may increase as a result of driving conditions being affected by spray, standing water and/or hail.
