A THUNDERSTORM warning is in place across the whole of the Borders.

The Met Office yellow alert is currently in place until 1pm today (Monday, August 12).

It said conditions could cause disruption.

A Met Office spokesperson said: “Although not all parts of the warning area are expected to see them, an area of increasingly organised thunderstorms is likely to produce a combination of frequent lightning, heavy rain, hail and short periods of strong winds. 

“Some torrential downpours are likely, with 20-40mm in places, and a potential for 40-60mm of rain to fall in 1-2 hours very locally, with hail up to 2cm in diameter. 

“Thunderstorms are expected to clear towards the northeast by Monday afternoon.”
