Some of the showers could be heavy, with a risk of thunder throughout this afternoon.

The forecast follows a day of snow and sleet in parts of Kent stretching from Dartford to Tunbridge Wells and beyond.

As temperatures dipped, some areas saw the snow settling.

The maximum temperature today is set to be 10C.

But the mercury is expected to plummet to below freezing tonight, prompting Kent County Council to send gritters out.
