A thunderstorm warning covering the entire south-east of England has been issued.

The Met Office has put out a yellow warning for "thundery rain" between 05:00 GMT to 12:00 on Tuesday.

Officials warned of probable damage to buildings and structures from lightning strikes and gusty winds throughout the morning.

East Sussex, West Sussex, Kent and Surrey would be affected, a Met Office spokesman said.

"A band of squally, thundery rain is likely to push quickly east across the warning area through Tuesday morning," he said.

"There is a good chance driving conditions will be affected by spray, standing water and hail, leading to longer journey times by car and bus."

Delays to train and plane services are also possible, he added, while some short term loss of power and other services is likely.
