The Met Office has issued thunderstorm warnings across much of the UK over the weekend. The yellow warning covers the entirety of England and Wales, and also straddles the border with Scotland.
It also covers much of Northern Ireland, as well as small pockets of the Republic. The warning, which starts at noon on Sunday (June 18) and ends at 11.59pm the same day, says there is the chance of 'heavy rain and thunderstorms on Sunday (that) will bring a chance of disruption to parts of England and Wales'.
A tweet issued by the Met Office adds that there is the risk of heavy rain, thunderstorms, flooding, power cuts and travel disruption. There is also the 'potential for frequent lightning, strong winds and hail'.
