‘Further heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible during Sunday evening and night, particularly across eastern parts of England, easing later.
’10-20 mm of rain is likely in 1 to 3 hours in many areas, with 30 mm in a few places through the morning.
‘However, where thunderstorms occur during the afternoon, evening and overnight, there is a small chance of 20-30 mm falling within an hour and as much as 60 mm in 2-3 hours, along with lightning and a chance of gusty winds and hail, this most likely across eastern parts of England.’
