Parts of Britain can expect a battering of rain as humid air drives up temperatures and is expected to bring thunderstorms to the UK.
The Met Office reported heavy, thundery showers overnight on Wednesday moving through the west of the country, which could see 20 to 40 mm of rain over just a few hours during intense downpours. Frequent lightning can be expected amid these bursts of heavy rain as the wet weather moves slowly through the North and East on Thursday.
