Significant flooding is possible where these do occur from surface water as well as small, fast responding watercourses. The frequent lightning, hail and strong gusts could also be an additional hazard.

The Met Office add that the public should be aware of the risk of disruption from any of these elements.

Forecasters say they may update their severe weather alert in the coming days.
