Met Office: Yellow warning for thunderstorms along the east coast

Whilst there remains some uncertainty in whether thunderstorms develop as cooler conditions follow from the west, there is a chance that an organised line of thunderstorms could develop across northern Britain during Sunday afternoon from 1pm onwards before clearing east into the North Sea during the evening around 9pm.

This is more likely to happen across eastern parts of the warning area including north-east England and eastern Scotland.

Rainfall amounts will vary significantly, but some locations could see 30-40 mm in 1-2 hours. Frequent lightning, large hail (up to 3 cm in diameter) and strong, gusty winds will be additional hazards.
