BBC weather forecast: VICIOUS thunderstorms to rage across Britain
Powerful downpours egged on by fierce winds threaten widespread road closures and travel mayhem as storms sweep in from the near continent.
“There’s a lot of cloud around and there’s also some dense fog, particularly so across the south eastern quarter of the UK and some tricky travel conditions,” Carol Kirkwood said.
“But most of that will thin and break through the course for the day and push back towards the North Sea. and then what we have is some thundery weather coming in across the south east to start with and pushing a bit further north and west,” she added.
Turbulent weather will strike today with vicious thunderstorms, torrential downpours and localised flooding on the agenda.
Areas worst hit include southern parts of the UK, where heavy showers threaten commuter's travels and could cause severe disruptions.
