In Bambury Street, Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, roads were flooded and lightning struck properties.

According to the Met Office, Cornwall has experienced most of the thunderstorms, with some large hail reported in the region too.

Ms Mitchell added that the southwestern county has also seen lightning. She warned there was "probably quite a lot of water on the road", after reports of about 30mm of rainfall in the area, which could lead to "tricky driving conditions".

米切尔女士补充说，西南部县也看到了闪电。她警告称，据报道该地区降雨量约为 30 毫米，“路上可能有大量积水”，这可能会导致“驾驶条件变得棘手”。

"The only other place I've seen some thunder strikes was quite early this morning, about 6am, and that was in the Surrey and Oxfordshire region," the meteorologist said.
