THE Met Office have issued a weather warning for possible thunderstorms across Dorset on Friday.
The warning is in place between 2pm and midnight on Friday for Bournemouth, Poole and other parts of Dorset.
The forecaster said: "High temperatures may set off some heavy showers and thunderstorms, which in some places could be slow-moving and persistent, bringing a risk of flooding.
"Should they develop, in the heaviest showers some places could see 30mm of rain in an hour, which would likely bring flooding impacts particularly should this fall on an urban area.
"There would also be a smaller chance of impacts from lightning strikes.
"As is the nature of showers, many places will miss them altogether, and it is not possible to say precisely where they will occur, but the warning area highlights the region at greatest risk."
