THE WARM and sunny weather will continue today with temperatures up to 26C expected this afternoon in Somerset.

There will be some patchy cloud this morning, but cloud will break up through the day to leave sunny skies in many places by the afternoon. It will feel very warm in light winds.

It will be dry at first tonight with some clear spells. As we head into the early hours, there is an increasing risk of thundery showers.

The Met Office have put in a yellow warning for much of the country tomorrow including Somerset.

They say isolated thunderstorms are likely to develop across parts of England and Wales from Thursday morning, before clearing east early on Friday.

While these storms may miss many places, where they do develop intense downpours are likely, bringing a low risk of sudden flooding of roads, transport routes, homes and businesses. Lightning and hail may be additional hazards.

The warning is in place from 6am Thursday to 6am Friday.
