Warning of Severe Thunderstorms

Friday, 13 June 2025 15:00

Severe thunderstorms could impact many parts of East Suffolk.

After the hot tempertaures on Friday, forecasters say that we could see torrential dowpours, frequent lightning, gusty winds and large hail.

Storms are most likely to arrive from around 10 o'clock tonight and could mean there is disruption from flooded roads and railways.

Power cuts are also possible with some places seeing 30 to 50mm or more of rain in just a few hours.

Storms should clear by the end of tonight. More details from the Met Office can be found here.
