Further high winds and heavy rain sweep into Burnham-On-Sea

High winds sent this canopy into the air outside a Burnham-On-Sea pub on Thursday (June 14th) as forecasters predict more unseasonal weather for the next couple of days.

Strong gusts picked up the canopy at The Railway Inn in the High Street, as pictured, narrowly missing several pedestrians.

The Met Office is predicting heavy rain on Friday with a possibility of thundery downpours and hail. It says the Burnham area will also be very windy with strong gusts.

The weather is due to remain unsettled and cool over the weekend with further heavy and blustery showers on Saturday. The winds will ease on Sunday, but there will still be a risk of showers.
