Thunder Storms And Flooding Forecast As Yellow Weather Warning Issued For Isle Of Wight

The Met Office has reported that thunderstorms may cause some flooding and disruption from this evening (Sunday).

It says there is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes or hail.

Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.

Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.

There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost.

A statement issued by the Met Service said:

"A few places may experience a combination of heavy rain, frequent lightning and hail during Sunday night.

"Should thunderstorms develop, they are likely to move north from the south coast during Sunday evening into parts of south Wales, southern England and East Anglia overnight before gradually weakening during Monday morning.

"Whilst some places will remain dry, a few may see 20-30 mm of rain fall in less than an hour, with frequent lightning and hail additional hazards."

The warning will be in place from 8pm tonight until 5am tomorrow (Monday).
