Forecasters are predicting thunderstorms will hit Nottinghamshire this week as a yellow weather warning is issued for the county.
Slow moving thundery downpours may cause localised surface water impacts, weather experts have said.
A yellow weather warning is in place from the Met Office from 10am on Friday August 6 until midnight the same day.
The warning covers most of the East Midlands including Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
It also covers the north of England, a large part of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Met Office added: "There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater.
"Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.
"Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services."
