The Met Office has issued a thunderstorm warning for three parts of the UK as some areas are set to be battered by floods and lightning.
Forecasters have warned people in one part of England that severe weather on Sunday could lead to travel disruptions. A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued for Hull, Lincoln and Norwich. The Met Office has said this warning is expected to be in place from 7am tomorrow until 7pm the same day. The agency warned flooding and lightning strikes could be possible and might lead to building damage.
The Met Office warned locals that these thunderstorms could make travel difficult for example, “a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus.”
Locals has also been told that there is a chance train services could be delayed and there is a risk of some short term loss of power and other services.
The Met Office said: “Thunderstorms are expected to occur during Sunday, initially in the west of the region but spreading east through the morning. These will bring heavy rain, lightning and some hail.
“Within the warning area, 15-25 mm of rain is expected quite widely, much of this falling within two or three hours at any given place. Where repeated thunderstorms occur, locally higher peaks of 40-60 mm are possible.”
People in areas at risk of flash flooding have been advised to prepare a flood plan and have an emergency kit on hand. The Met Office even revealed a list of the crucial items Brits should set aside in their emergency kits.
It said: “In your flood kit have: insurance and any other important documents; a torch & spare batteries; a first aid kit, prescription medicines and supplies for looking after your family members or pets; and warm, waterproof clothes, blankets, food and water.”
