Nine-hour thunderstorms warning issued by Met Office for Nottinghamshire

Weather experts have issued a warning for thunderstorms which will bring a sharp end to the mini-heatwave this September.

The yellow weather warning is in place for much of England, including Nottinghamshire, and has been issued to start from 11am on Thursday September 9.

It's expected to end at around 8pm the same day.

Heavy showers and thunderstorms on Thursday have the potential to bring surface water flooding in a few places, and disruption to travel, weather experts have said.

On what to expect, the Met Office said: "There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.

"Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.

"Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.

"There is a small chance that some rural communities could temporarily become cut off by flooded roads."

It comes after temperatures are expected to hit a sweltering 28C on Tuesday and Wednesday.
