Good afternoon, all.
Following my weather watch issued this morning, the Met Office have now issued a yellow warning for Cornwall, Devon & Somerset.
After another very hot day, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to move towards southwest England during Thursday evening and night.
Whilst many areas will miss them, thunderstorms may produce sudden, gusty winds with 50 to 60 mph possible.
Frequent lightning, hail and heavy rain are additional hazards.
Impacts are slightly more likely towards the south coast of Devon and Cornwall.
