THE MET Office has forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms that could even see a brief tornado hitting the UK.
Following a period of sunny spells over the last few weeks, Brits can now expect to see a turn in the weather.
With heavy showers in the south today, the Met Office has said there’s a risk of thunder and lightning.
But there’s also a possibility of short-lived funnel clouds or even a brief tornado.
On Wednesday, Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said: “Bit of a north-south split in our weather through today – northern parts having a lot of fine, sunny weather, meanwhile in the south we’ve seen some wet weather push its way in.
“There will be further showery bursts to come as we go through the rest of today.”;;
He added: “It’s not out of the question that we could see a funnel cloud, maybe even a brief tornado across parts of the South East.”;;
The rainy weather will gradually spread across the nation on Saturday and Sunday with Bank Holiday Monday likely seeing both sunshine and showers.
