Risk of storms, showers and flooding as weather warnings extended across much of UK
Met Office thunderstorm warnings will cover much of the UK later today.
One existing alert has been extended to cover most of the north of England and parts of Wales, while another was issued on Sunday morning for large swathes of central, southern, and southwestern England.
The southern warning says heavy showers and thunderstorms may cause some disruption in places. It will be in place from 10am to 7pm on Sunday, covering parts of London, Oxford, Bath and stretching as far to the southwest as Exeter.
The larger warning - for storms and heavy showers - comes into force at 12pm and lasts until 8pm. It now stretches as far north as Carlisle and Newcastle, and covers areas like Birmingham and Cambridge further south.
Southern parts of Scotland are covered by a separate rain warning from 1pm to midnight on Sunday.
What will the weather be like on Bank Holiday Monday?
A warning is in place for thunderstorms in Scotland between 11am and 10pm on Bank Holiday Monday.
The alert, which covers Edinburgh and most eastern parts of the country, promises "slow-moving heavy showers and thunderstorms", which "may cause flooding and disruption in places".
Sky News weather producer Joanna Robinson said earlier this weekend: "Bank Holiday Monday will bring further showers, some thundery, but western parts will turn drier later on."
She had cautioned on Saturday that new weather warnings could be announced at short notice and has been proven right this morning.
