Met Office warns that heavy showers and thunderstorms may cause some transport disruption and perhaps flooding.
Thunderstorms can occur at any time of the year but it is during the summer months when thunderstorms in the UK are most likely to produce large hail, gusty winds and torrential downpours that can cause disruption to transport networks and damage property.
