Producing thunderstorms: Warnings for Friday as warm air arrives

As warm air pushes north from the continent, the risk of widespread thunderstorms returning has prompted weather warnings for Friday.

The current outlook shows the more significant risk in south-east England, as lesser warnings spread across much of the country and into Wales.

Ahead of Friday, a separate outbreak is possible early Thursday morning in south-west England. Up to 40 mm of rainfall could fall in some areas.
