The summer sun is on hold again as Cambridgeshire has been issued with a weather warning for thunderstorms. 

The Met Office announced the 12-hour weather warning at 10:28am and will be in force from 12pm on Thursday August 1 until 11.59pm. 

The warning covers most of England and all of Cambridgeshire, including Huntingdon, Peterborough, Ely and Fenland. 

The weather warning states: "Heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to break out across parts of England and Wales on Thursday afternoon.

"The exact location of showers is still uncertain and some places will stay dry all day.

"However, where the showers do occur they could be torrential, with the additional hazards of lightning, hail and gusty winds.

"The heaviest showers could result in 20-30 mm within an hour, with 24 hour accumulations possibly reaching as much as 70-90 mm where multiple showers affect the same location."

The agency warned to expect spray and sudden flooding which could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures. 

Flooding and power cuts could also be expected, with a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services.
