Brits enjoying the early May sunshine might want to dig out the brolly again as the Met Office has put out a yellow thunderstorm warning for Monday. After a glorious start to the month with record-breaking heat, things are about to get messy — and fast.
The warning covers much of the South West, most of Wales, and stretches right across to Kent and as far north as Stoke-on-Trent. From midday until 10 pm on Monday, there’s a real chance of some heavy-duty storms, with forecasters saying up to 30mm of rain could fall in under an hour. That’s enough to cause flash flooding, bring traffic to a standstill, and even knock out power in some places.
