Met Office hour-by-hour forecast as thunderstorms hit London

From 5am to midnight today (Tuesday, November 14) thunder and rain is likely across the city.

Some buildings and structures may be damaged from lightning strikes or strong winds.

Driving conditions will likely be affected by spray, standing water and/or hail, causing longer journey times.

Train services and journeys by plane may be delayed today.

The Met Office has also said that there may be some short-term power outages as the weather is poor.

To stay safe in a storm, the Met Office recommends keeping your mobile phone fully charged and preparing a flood plan if your home is at risk of flooding.

If you must drive in the storm, they suggest driving slowly, using dipped headlights, giving yourself more time to react by leaving a bigger gap between vehicles and using main roads where you can.
