Lancashire Met Office weather forecast for rest of the weekend as thunderstorm warning issued for parts of northern England
The Met Office has warned that thunderstorms may cause disruption and localised flooding across northern England on Sunday with more heavy rain forecast for Lancashire.
Some across the UK are enjoying the summer sunshine but could soon see lightning, hail and strong winds, forecasters say. The thunderstorms could cause localised flooding and rainfall will “vary significantly, but some locations could see 30-40mm in 1-2 hours”, according to the forecaster.Some places could see hail that is up to 3cm in diameter along with strong, gusty winds.
The Met Office said: “Whilst there remains some uncertainty in whether thunderstorms develop as cooler conditions follow from the west, there is a chance that an organised line of thunderstorms could develop across northern Britain during Sunday afternoon before clearing east into the North Sea during the evening. This is more likely to happen across eastern parts of the warning area including northeast England and eastern Scotland.
Met Office chief meteorologist Matthew Lehnert described the prospect of thunderstorms developing as “finely balanced”.
