Warnings in the app hug the east coast of England initially.

Parts of eastern England may see outbreaks of thundery showers from Wednesday with our own warnings covering the east coast before moving more inland.

On Wednesday, the risk of outbreaks rests predominantly across the east coast of England, in a stretch from Bridlington to Leiston, north-east of Ipswich which is not covered.

By Thursday, the risk extends into the East Midlands, as far as Derbyshire as continued showers hold the potential to bring short-lived thunder and lightning.

The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
