Parts of England and Wales have received a 10-hour thunderstorm warning.
On Thursday, areas in the South West, Midlands, and Wales should prepare for severe rain, lightning, and hail.
Up until later tonight, there is a yellow weather warning from the Met Office, which indicates that disruption is expected.
Rainfall in the UK
On Thursday morning, from two in the morning until nine in the morning, the weather department's warning will be in force. The department predicted that there might be lightning and 25 to 50 mm of rain in the next several hours, as per Express.
It also suggested that certain houses and businesses would see some flooding as a result of the weather, which might cause structural damage to some buildings.
Along with the possible temporary loss of electricity and other services, the disturbing weather conditions could also result in some damage to a few buildings and structures from lightning strikes.
Spray and standing water will make driving conditions difficult and lengthen bus and auto trips, the Met Office further warned.
The Met Office issued another yellow rain alert for Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
The unsettling weather conditions could also result in some short-term loss of power and other services, as well as some damage to some buildings and structures from lightning strikes.
The Met Office also cautioned that driving conditions will be affected by spray and standing water, which will lengthen journey times by car and bus.
According to the department, a region of heavy rain is anticipated to form early on Thursday morning and produce 20 to 30 millimeters of rain in a short period of time, which would be enough to cause minor flooding in areas that are prone to it.

Another heatwave?
The UK should prepare for changing weather over the coming days, with isolated showers and bright intervals predicted across the nation.
As circumstances start to moderate, forecasters have also cautioned that another heatwave might occur in the coming weeks.

As we approach the middle of July, Dan Stroud, a Met Office meteorologist, told The Independent, that things should start to feel rather warm.
Today:
Sunny periods with showers that begin in the north and west and move elsewhere over the day. Some of the rains are heavy and sluggish moving. Hail and isolated thunderstorm risk, especially in the southern and central regions later.
Tonight:
With clear periods and a few showers in the south and west, there are areas of heavy showers across central England that are heading towards portions of northeast England.
Friday:
Another day of sunshine and showers, with the possibility of heavier rain in the morning in northeast Scotland and later across Northern Ireland.'
