The Met Office has also issued two yellow weather warnings for rain- one for Wales and central south-west England which lasts for all of today – and another for tomorrow, that cover areas further east and further north, and lasts all day.Met Office meteorologist, Johnathan Vautrey urged Britons to be careful amid the the wet conditions and said many areas will see a variable amount of rainfall.He said: “As the rain continues to come through do take care across many areas of England and Wales.
“Rainfall is going to be on and off throughout the day and quite sporadic in nature so not every location and every county will see the same amount of rainfall but where those downpours do occur there is the potential for disruption particularly in those locations which have seen heavy rainfall recently due to thunderstorms which have tracked through over the past couple of days.”
Thunderstorms moved across the country on Saturday, starting in Cornwall before striking more central, towards the north-east of London, and then up through Birmingham and towards the East Midlands.Lightning in Great Oakley, Corby, Northamptonshire, at around 1am was captured by local resident Jenna Smith who posted snapshots of the “cracking” strikes on social media.
