Thunderstorm warnings have been issued for England and Wales, with expectations widespread that it will be the hottest weekend of the year so far. It will turn unsettled, with thundery downpours across England and Wales, later in the week, forecasters said. They will rise across much of the south-east and Norfolk in the early afternoon, with even higher levels expected on Sunday afternoon. Thundery downpours are expected to move northwards across western parts of England and Wales on Saturday night, but other parts should be dry with clear spells. The fine spells are the result of a low pressure system south of the UK and higher pressure over Scandinavia.
