Lightning over Brighton. Picture: Simon Dack
A WARNING for rain, thunderstorms, lightning and hail has been issued for Thursday.
The Met Office issued a yellow warning for rain to sweep in between 6am on Thursday and 6am on Friday.
The storms could well miss Sussex but where they do develop intense downpours are likely, bringing a low risk of sudden flooding of roads, transport routes, homes and businesses.
The Met Office's chief forecaster said: "25-30 mm of rain may fall within an hour, perhaps 50mm in three hours, however such totals are likely to be very isolated, with many places staying dry.
"Some intense showers and thunderstorms may continue overnight into Friday morning before clearing into the North Sea."
