The Met Office has issued another yellow weather warning for thunderstorms across Yorkshire and the Humber. 

Last night's intense thunderstorm cleared to leave another very warm, sunny day - but this is the calm between the storms, according to forecasters. 

The hot weather is predicted spark scattered thunderstorms on Thursday, from around 3pm and continuing overnight.

Drivers are warned that spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures.

Flooding and powercuts could also occur, and public transport could be affected due to flooding and lightning strikes, says the Met Office. 

The warning covers most of the country.

A Met Office spokesman said: "Following a hot day - in places exceptionally so - scattered thunderstorms are likely to break out from late afternoon onwards.

"While some areas, particularly in the south of the warning area may well avoid the storms, where they do occur they could produce 20-30 mm of rain in less than an hour, along with frequent lightning, hail and gusty winds.

"Perhaps the main focus will be later in the evening and into the first part of the night across northern England and southern and eastern parts of Scotland, where storms could be more widespread and locally intense."

This warning follows this morning's dramatic thunderstorm, which hit the Bradford district in the early hours and caused powercuts for some local residents.
