UK weather: More than half a month’s rain to fall in southern parts of UK
BBC Sports says More than half a month’s rain could fall across the south of England on Friday leading to a chance of flooding, the Met Office has warned.
Around 30mm to 40mm (1 to 1.5in) of rain is expected to fall in some areas in just six hours, forecasters say.
Usually in August, 63mm (2.5in) of rain falls across south-east England during the entire month.
A yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued across a large part of the West Midlands and the South of England.
The Met Office says there is a chance of travel disruption, with the possibility that some homes and businesses could be flooded or hit by lightning as well as a short-term loss of power.
The warning, stretching from Birmingham to London and the whole of the South East and Solent area, is in place from 06:00 BST until 12:00.
