A yellow warning for thunder and lightining is in place in parts of England today - the Met Office warned there could be some damage to some buildongs and structures

Between 10 and 15mm of rain could fall in less than an hour, leading to flooding, spray, standing water and possibly hail.

All across the UK, the Met Office marked the warmest spring for mean temperatures since the series began in 1884, surpassing the previous record from 2024. Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales also saw their sunniest spring on record, while England recorded its second sunniest spring since records began in 1910.
