Thunderstorm warning issued for Yorkshire as heatwave continues
We're being warned about the risk of thundery showers overnight into tomorrow
A yellow weather warning for thunderstorms has been issued, covering much of Yorkshire, as the UK-wide heatwave continues.
The warning comes into force at midnight tonight, lasting until 10am on Friday morning.
The Met Office says "thunderstorms are expected to move northeastwards across parts of England and Wales during the early hours of Friday, clearing during Friday morning."
"Whilst many areas will miss them, thunderstorms may produce sudden, gusty winds with 50 to 60 mph possible, particularly in the south and west of the warning area.
"Frequent lightning, hail and heavy rain (possibly 15-20 mm in an hour) are additional hazards."
It comes as a separate amber warning for extreme heat remains in place across parts of South and West Yorkshire.
