Yorkshire thunderstorms: When are thunderstorms expected to hit Leeds, York, Sheffield, Bradford, Scarborough, Huddersfield, Wakefield, Halifax, Beverley, Whitby, Dewsbury, Knaresborough and Grassington as yellow weather warning issued across parts of region

Today (September 10) a few heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible that may lead to some disruption.

Yorkshire residents can expect spray and sudden flooding which may result in difficult driving conditions and road closures, a chance of delays and cancellations to train and bus services, a slight chance of power cuts and a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with potential damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.

The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning northwards to include all of Lincolnshire and parts of Yorkshire.

The same weather warning has been issued across parts of Yorkshire tomorrow (September 11). These thunderstorms may bring disruption throughout Monday.

Residents may expect flooding of homes and businesses, a chance of delays and cancellations to public transport, spray and sudden flooding may lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures, some communities might become cut off if roads are flooded, power cuts may occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost and fast flowing or deep floodwater is possible, causing danger to life.

Chief meteorologist at Met Office, Paul Gundersen, said: “Although much of the UK will see high temperatures and sunny skies continue on Saturday, in what has a possibility of being the hottest day of the year so far, there’s also the potential for some thunderstorms, which has resulted in a yellow weather warning being issued for much of central England and parts of east Wales.

“Temperatures will begin to trend downwards from Saturday in the far northwest of Scotland, with a cold front gradually moving south through the weekend, bringing with it the risk of some heavy and thundery downpours on Sunday as well. However, the southeast will hold on to the high temperatures the longest and could still reach 32C on Sunday.”
