He said: "There's torrential thunderstorms around yet again.

"Into the evening, from Norfolk to Bournemouth we are going to see some pretty lively showers.

"Torrential downpours, thunder and lightning and potentially some hailstones are settling in the south."

Earlier today, Dan Holley, of Norwich-based forecasters Weatherquest, said the slow-moving storms are likely to arrive on Sunday afternoon affecting the south and south west of the county. 

The Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms, covering parts of Norfolk. 

This means spray and sudden flooding which could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures and power cuts might occur to some homes and businesses.
