Weather warnings have been issued ahead of possible thunderstorms and flooding in Suffolk later this week.

Yellow weather warnings have been issued by the Met Office for Thursday this week, affecting the majority of England - including Suffolk and the East.

"Heavy showers and thunderstorms" are to be expected to arrive on Thursday and "may lead to some disruption", the Met Office said.

The Met Office says some areas may stay dry, but where there is rain it could be "torrential, with the additional hazards of lightning, hail and gusty winds".

It is forecasted to rain 20-30mm within an hour but could reach as much as 70-90mm where it continues to rain in the same area.

It is recommended to keep an eye on the weather forecast.

The Met Office's yellow warning is in place between 12pm on Thursday and 12am on Friday.
