Thunderstorms and torrential rain are sweeping across parts of southern Britain, with frequent lightning flashing across the sky.
Around 15,000 lightning strikes were recorded in four hours on Saturday night, BBC Weather said. The thunderstorms swept northwards across the south of England, the Midlands and Wales and are expected to continue throughout Sunday. The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for heavy rain and flooding. Many people got out their cameras to photograph and video the electrical storm, which was called “utterly insane” and “like being under a strobe light”.
