The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for Friday between 2pm and 11.59pm where we can expect rainfall of over an inch within the space of just one hour.
There is a fear that the slow-moving thundery downpours may cause some homes and businesses to flood quickly.
The Met Office warning states:
Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions with the possibility of road closures.
Thunderstorms expected to bring an end to the heatwave, albeit for a short period if time ‘There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.’
