A toxic cocktail of hail, torrential rain and 48 hours of thunder and lightning could cause a 'danger to life' in Britain from fast flowing or deep floodwater, forecasters warned today.

The Met Office has activated weather warnings for rain in southern England, the Midlands and Wales for today and tomorrow, and has also alerted the public to 'frequent lightning and large hail' both today and tomorrow.

Up to 3.1in (80mm) of rain in just two to three hours is expected in some areas of the country today, followed by another 2.4in (60mm) in a few hours tomorrow, which could also affected the North West and Northern Ireland.

It follows a week of thunderstorms and flash floods across the UK that have seen half-term getaway plans trashed as dozens of flights were cancelled, rail services were disrupted, roads submerged and properties flooded.
