Violent thunderstorms will lash across most of England this week, forecasters have warned.

Met Office has issued new yellow weather warnings for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Forecasters say more flooding is possible in parts of eastern and southern England.

But the warning stretches from parts of North Yorkshire to Weymouth on the Dorset coast.

"Thunderstorms may develop bringing torrential rain, hail and lightning to a few places, with potential disruption to travel and flooding," the Met Office says.

"There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.

"Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.

"Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.

"There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost."

Wainfleet All Saints, Lincolnshire, has already been ravaged by flooding this week.

Other areas in the Midlands and East of England have also been hit.

Two months of rain in just two days has fallen in some parts.

In June, the entire UK typically averages around 62 millimetres (2.4 inches) of rain.

But more than 60mm fell on Monday alone in some parts.

It led to the Met Office issuing a rare "risk to life" warning for London and the southeast.

The unseasonable weather ruined music festivals and sporting fixtures this week.
