Could be more thundery activity over parts of the UK this afternoon as showers and a few thunderstorms develop under an unstable airmass, with the greatest risk of lightning existing over East Anglia. Hail and gusty winds may accompany the strongest cells as they drift eastward through the day ⛈️

A pretty active lightning map at 2pm this afternoon - plenty of thunderstorms have developed over central and eastern England with a few in Wales and Scotland. These showers/thunderstorms will continue to drift east through the day and may bring small hail and gusty winds.
