The Met Office has issued two yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms in Southampton on Friday and Saturday. 

The city is set to be hit with thunderstorms at the end of this week as a yellow warning has been issued for a large part of the UK. 

Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures and there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.

The Met Office has warned that if your location is at risk of flash flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.

Two warnings have been put in place with the first lasting from 12pm to 8pm on Friday and the second from 1am to 11.59pm on Saturday. 

A spokesperson for the Met Office said: "A few thundery showers may be present across southern and southeast England early on Friday, but from the middle of the day they are expected to develop more widely within the warning area.

"Whilst some places will remain dry, where thundery showers do occur, they will bring frequent lightning, gusty winds, potentially some large hail, as well as brief spells of heavy rain.

"15-25 mm of rain fall may fall within an hour, with a very small chance of 30-40 mm falling in 3 hours; the latter most likely across southwest England.

"Showers will tend to ease and fade during Friday evening."
