Thunderstorms and heavy rain may lash the UK during a “disappointing” week for many.
The Met Office issued a yellow rain warning in eastern parts of England lasting until 4am on Monday, with people told to expect possible flooding, travel disruption and power cuts. However, as the week progresses, torrential rain, strong gales and thunderstorms could move across the country as the result of a “vigorous” low pressure system.
One flood alert was in place in Tamworth, just north east of Birmingham, on Sunday evening. It comes after the weather caused some disruption to the end of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, although events were able to go ahead in relatively dry conditions.
