Severe yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms are in place with another warning for rain in place for Sunday

A weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy showers is in full force across much of southern England and Wales. The Met Office says damage to buildings as a result of lightning strikes, disruption to public transport and flooding should be expected within the affected areas.

The region is expected to see some spells of 'heavy rain' arrive early next week in the wake of thunderstorms and downpours in southern parts of the UK
