Region: East of England

Thunderstorms are possible across parts of eastern and southeastern England from Friday afternoon through to the early hours of Saturday. Although many places within the warning area may not see any impacts, torrential downpours could bring 30-50mm of rain, with a risk of even greater accumulations should thunderstorms line up, and with much of the rain perhaps falling in a short space of time, leading to a risk of surface water flooding. Thunderstorms may also bring large hail, gusty winds and frequent lightning to some places which could cause damage and power cuts. What Should I Do? Consider if your location is at risk of flash flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit. Prepare to protect your property and people from injury. Before gusty winds arrive, check to ensure moveable objects or temporary structures are well secured. Items include; bins, garden furniture, trampolines, tents, gazebos, sheds, and fences. Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary. People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items. If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter (such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground. Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.

Thunderstorms may bring some disruption during Friday evening, and overnight into Saturday.
