A Met Office warning for heavy rain has been extended into Monday in the East of England, following an unsettled start to the weekend on Saturday. A "yellow" warning, meaning disruption could occur, has been put in place for parts of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire on Sunday.

Flip-flops are out and umbrellas are in, as the autumn equinox starts, bringing with it heavy rain and thunderstorms.

A weather warning for thunderstorms and heavy showers is in force across much of southern England and Wales. The Met Office says damage to buildings as a result of lightning strikes, disruption to public transport and flooding should be expected within the affected areas.
