The Brigg area could well be hit by thunderstorms today (Wednesday, July 20).
Following the temperature rising to record levels during two days of unprecedented hot weather, the Met Office has issued a yellow-rated alert for this afternoon, from noon through to 10pm.
In its weather warning issued this morning for a swathe of eastern England and the East Midlands, the Met Office says: "Whilst many places will only see relatively small amounts of rain, some slow-moving torrential downpours are possible."
This alert applies for areas north of London through to the River Humber.
