Britons have been warned they face "disruptive" thunderstorms and "additional hazards" as the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning across much of England and Wales.
The thunderstorm warning is in place from 4am and 9pm tomorrow.
It will stretch across the East Midlands, East of England, London & South East England, North East England, North West England, South West England, Wales, West Midlands and Yorkshire & Humber.
The UK's national weather service claimed there is a chance of flooding and disruption due to the heavy showers and thunderstorms.
Britons brace for 'disruptive' thunderstorms as 'additional hazards' batter EnglandMET OFFICEIn its more detailed update about tomorrow's warning, the Met Office said: "A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop across parts of southern England on Saturday night, but by Sunday morning there is an increasing risk of more active and organised heavy showers and thunderstorms moving in to, or developing across, parts of southern England.
"The risk of storms will then steadily transfer broadly northwards through the afternoon and into the early evening.
"The extent of these thunderstorms is very uncertain, and many places will miss them, but where they do occur, 30 to 40 mm of rain may fall in less than an hour with perhaps over 75 mm in one or two places, leading to a chance of flooding and disruption.
"Frequent lightning strikes and hail will be additional hazards, most likely across southern and central England."
