The Met Office issued a yellow thunderstorm weather warning for parts of England on Tuesday, with disruption expected on roads due to spray, standing water and hail, leading to longer journey times.

In Wolverhampton, which was not covered by the weather warning, pea-sized hail pieces were battering down along with heavy rain, thunder and lightning.
