The Met Office are forecasting further unsettled weather, with a yellow ‘Be Alert’ weather warning in place for Tuesday.
The warning, valid from 5am to midday on Tuesday reads:
A band of very squally showers is expected to push quickly east across the warning area, reaching the Isles of Scilly and Cornwall by 0500, then continuing quickly east through Tuesday morning.
Sudden, torrential downpours will bring 15-20 mm of rain in a short period of time. Showers will likely be accompanied by thunder and lightning.
Gusts of winds to 40-50 mph are also likely, as is hail. The last of the showers should clear into the North Sea late Tuesday morning.
What to expect
- Probably some damage to a few buildings and structures from lightning strikes or strong and gusty winds
- There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus
- Delays to train services and journeys by plane are possible
- Some short term loss of power and other services is likely
