Yellow thunderstorm warning issued for Suffolk

Yellow thunderstorm warnings have been extended to Suffolk.

The Met Office has today issued Yellow Warnings for the county with thunderstorms set to move south, following the heatwave.

Warnings have been issued for much of the UK, beginning in Scotland and Northern Ireland from Sunday afternoon.

The warning extends to Suffolk on Monday and Tuesday.

An amber extreme heat warning is still in place for today and tomorrow.

The Met Office says 'hit-and-miss' thunderstorms are likely to develop through Monday, producing some torrential downpours for some spots, and possible disruption.

What to expect

• Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
• There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds
• Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services
• There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost
