The Met Office has issued a weather warning for potential heavy thunderstorms in the Burnham-On-Sea area today (Monday, May 12th).
A yellow weather warning will be in place between 12 mid-day and 10pm stretching across the country, as pictured here.
The storms could lead to some flooding and disruption, says the Met Office.
A spokesman says: “Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop on Monday afternoon.”
“Whilst these will be fairly fast-moving, rain may be intense for short periods of time and produce 20-30 mm in less than an hour, with 40-50mm within 1-2 hours in one or two places where thunderstorms grow larger.”
“Lightning, hail and gusty winds will be additional hazards. Showers and thunderstorms will ease through the evening.”
