A thunderstorm warning has been issued for large parts of England and Wales over the next two days - bringing the threat of frequent lightning and large hail.
The Met Office warning, which is in effect from 12pm until 8pm on Friday, stretches from the West Midlands to the South East and includes the South West. It also covers the western part of Wales, including Cardiff and Swansea. 'A few thundery showers may be present across southern and southeast England early on Friday, but from the middle of the day they are expected to develop more widely within the warning area,' the Met Office said.
' It added there is 'a very small chance of 30-40mm falling in three hours' across South West England. Saturday's warning says thunderstorms and heavy showers are expected to cause disruption. 'Hail and frequent lightning may accompany the most intense storms, especially during Saturday afternoon and evening in parts of the Midlands, southern England and east Wales,' the Met Office said. This breaking news story is being updated and more details will be published shortly.
