Forecasters have warned that thunderstorms could bring disruption following this week’s hot weather spell.

The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning covering Scotland into today, with the risk of heavy downpours, lightning, hail and strong winds.

Forecasters say there is a possibility of localised flooding, difficult driving conditions and isolated power outages.

The warning follows exceptionally high temperatures across parts of the UK and comes as weather conditions become increasingly unsettled heading into the weekend.
