A Met Office yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued until 21:00 on Friday Friday started with two Environment Agency flood warnings , external and over 20 flood alerts in parts of the Midlands, with the risk of more heavy rain bringing the risk of more flash flooding.

Meteorologist Kathryn Chalk said: “We’ve had low pressure, but that’s clearing its way out towards the North Sea, so it will turn brighter and there will be more in the way of sunshine for eastern parts of the UK. She said temperatures will return to average for most of the country, with a high of 22C forecast in the capital.

A yellow warning for thunderstorms on Friday has been issued covering most of Wales, the Midlands and parts of the North West and North East on England with warnings that driving conditions will be affected by spray and standing water.

Following thunderstorms and heavy showers across the weekend, the final day of summer is expected to bring more settled conditions, the Met Office said.
