Smaller outbreaks
Isolated thunderstorms in the south-west

First in southern England, before moving into Wales.

After widespread thunderstorms on Monday, there are more contained outbreaks Tuesday afternoon for those in the south-west.

From around 04:00 pm, conditions are ripe for thunderstorms to develop closer to the English south coast, which are expected to move north-west, via Bristol, into Wales in the following hours.

From 07:00 pm onwards, these dissipate, leaving a dry evening of clear skies in their wake.
