The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for heavy rain for the Midlands, the South of the country, and the North-East.

The Tornado and Storm Research Organization also forecast that many parts of the South-East will see lightning, winds up to 50 mpg, and even isolated brief tornadoes. This covers much of East Anglia, central southern England, and the south-east Midlands.
The Environment Agency issues a total of 30 flood warnings across England, which means a flood is expected, and 78 flood alerts, which means a flood is possible.
Some parts of the country may face heavy rain and flash flooding on Monday and Tuesday.
The Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Neil Armstrong said that they are expecting an area of slow-moving showers and thunderstorms to develop this evening across parts of Midlands. The heavy rainfall will happen on already saturated grounds, effectively affecting communities still recovering from recent flooding.
According to the Met Office, the downpour may result in power cuts, disruption to train and bus services, localized flooding, and possible road closures in some areas. Certain roads may get damaged because of heavy rain, and flooding, and there is a light risk of fast-moving. Also, deep water may cause serious hazards for the people of certain areas.
Although not all areas will experience such impacts, heavy rain, and flooding are likely to affect large parts of England and Wales from tonight until Monday morning. Some areas could see as much as 20-30 mm of rain within a couple of hours.
Emma Hardy, the floods minister, met the Environment Agency Chief executive on Friday afternoon to discuss the recent flood scene. The Environment Agency told the drivers their cars could be swept away in as little as 30 cm of water.
About 385 properties have been flooded in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Northamptonshire, and the home countries. However, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning of strong winds and thunderstorms that may disrupt England and Wales on Sunday.
