BBC Weather: Carol Kirkwood warns of ‘flash flooding’ across UK
On Sunday the UK saw some torrential thundery downpours leading to some flooding across parts of East Anglia, Lincolnshire and the Midlands. BBC meteorologist Carol Kirkwood has warned there is the potential for similar on Monday with some further heavy downpours and still thundery. However, she also noted that in between there'll be some sunny spells in the weather.
Ms Kirkwood told viewers: "At the moment we've got some heavy rain moving across northern England.
"Through the day that's going to be pushing up into southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, turning more showery.
"But even so there could still be some heavy thundery bursts in it.
"At the same time, we've got a lot of cloud and some rain across Wales."

"Through this evening and overnight, we still hang onto a fair bit of cloud."
