The Met Office has issued another yellow thunderstorm warning for Suffolk.

Heavy rain, lightning and strong winds are expected from 5pm today to 7am on Friday.

The weather may cause fast flooding and damage to some buildings.

Travel disruptions, including delays and cancellations to train and bus services, are also possible.

Some roads may be closed due to sudden flooding, and drivers are advised to check conditions before setting off.

The Met Office also said that there is a small risk of communities being cut off by flooded roads, and power cuts may affect some areas.

Gusty winds also mean that temporary structures such as bins, garden furniture, and tents should be secured.

The warning follows a previous yellow alert which was in force from 3am until 10pm on Wednesday, August 26, and from 6am until 10pm on Thursday, August 27.
