The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for Kenilworth today (May 12) as thunderstorms are predicted.

The warning - which covers the south west, Midlands and Wales - is in place from 12noon today until 10pm.

The Met Office said: "Scattered thunderstorms could lead to some flooding and disruption in places on Monday."

Meteorologists have said there is a chance of power cuts and a "small chance" of sudden flooding.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris, said: “On Monday itself, we could see some particularly vigorous thunderstorms developing, most likely in Wales and parts of southern England, whilst elsewhere during this whole period, dry, fine, and increasingly warm conditions are expected.

“Should these thunderstorms develop, especially on Monday, there is potential for 25-35mm of rain to fall in an hour or so which may lead to some localised surface water flooding.

"Hail, lightning, and isolated strong wind gusts would be additional hazards.

"Forecasting exactly where thunderstorms will form at this range is fraught with uncertainty, so please stay up to date with the Met Office forecast through the weekend, and any severe weather warnings which may be issued.”
