  • A huge rolling storm hit parts of the south of England and south Wales on Wednesday night (1 May) as the Met Office issued two yellow weather warnings and forecast heavy rain.
    The warnings came after the UK experienced its sixth wettest April since records began, according to provisional data.
    More warnings have been issued after thousands of lightning strikes swept across the country overnight, causing travel delays and striking a care home.

      Exactly. Media have nothing better to do than fear monger. They need to go do something useful.

    Looks just like a regular storm. Just because someone records it on their phone doesnt mean everyone wants to see it. What happened to journalism?

    Lightning storm...
    Calling them Thunderstorms is like calling a hail storm a pitter patter storm, a rain storm a tinkle storm or a tornado a wooshy storm.
    Sorry.... Pet hate. 😂

      No it was a thunder storm accompanied by lightning. No such thing as a lightning storm.
