The Met Office has changed and extended several severe weather warnings for rain and thunderstorms this weekend. The forecaster said the focus has now been changed to emphasise the likelihood of torrential downpours as the main hazard with thunderstorms likely to impact several regions.
The Met Office has three weather warnings for rain in effect across the weekend.
The first is in force across much of the UK from midday until 11.59pm on Saturday.
The warning reads: “Following rain overnight and during the morning, heavier showers and thunderstorms are likely to break out this afternoon and evening.
“Many parts will miss these, but some torrential downpours are likely in a few places, bringing around 20 mm of rain in less than an hour and 30-40 mm in a couple of hours.
“Lightning and hail may prove additional hazards in some locations.”
