A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been extended over weekend as heavy rain and hail are forecast despite high temperatures being expected. The weather warning is in place on Saturday, June 10 and Sunday, June 11, for Nottinghamshire and other parts of the UK.
The Met Office states: "Whilst many places will be largely dry, thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail are likely to develop in some places on Saturday afternoon." The government agency warns that warnings have been issued for thunderstorms "as a plume of warm air will raise temperatures and increase the risk of thundery showers."
It states: "The area of high pressure which has been responsible for the last couple of weeks of settled weather for much of the UK will drift away towards Scandinavia, allowing a plume of warmer, humid air from the south to influence the weekend weather for much of the UK.
