More thunderstorms forecast for Wales by the Met Office after 30,000 lightning strikes on Monday

The dramatic thunderstorms that hit parts of Wales on Monday evening are set to return on Tuesday. The morning is starting dry and bright, but the Met Office says that thundery downpours will move in during the afternoon.

The forecasting agency says that an area of low pressure slowly moving across the UK this week, means the weather will remain unsettled. The large area is situated to the southwest of the UK and will slowly track eastwards through the week.

BBC Weather says there were 30,000 lightning strikes in the UK on Monday as the storms moved up from France. There was some localised flooding in parts of Wales and a restaurant in Cardiff had to be evacuated after water started to leak into the building.
