TORRENTIAL rain and thunderstorms have lashed parts of the country – with forecasters warning that more severe weather is on the way.
An amber weather warning – meaning a potential risk to life – is in place for Glasgow today.
Met Office meteorologist John West said a “lively” day was in store on Friday, despite a bright start for some.
He said: “It will be a warm and humid day, with some decent spells of sunshine. But with the temperatures rising and an awful lot of moisture in the air, we’ll see more heavy showers and thunderstorms returning by early afternoon.
“This will affect Northern Ireland, Scotland and western parts of England and Wales.
“With some torrential downpours, it is likely that we will see some localised flooding.”
