Leicester was hit by thunder and lightning storms last night - and forecasters say there is more to come.
Following a hot, humid day, the storm hit the city in the early hours of the morning.
Forecasters have said the heavy rain will continue throughout the day today, with more thunder and lightning storms also predicted.
Tomorrow is set to be cloudy, with more rain to come in the evening.
Drivers are being warned to take extra care in heavy rain.
The Highways Agency said bosses were working closely with the Met Office to monitor weather conditions and keep journeys safe and reliable.
Simon Sheldon-Wilson, director of traffic management at the Highways Agency, said: "While this weather should not prevent people from making a journey, it's important that drivers are aware of the forecast and drive appropriately.
"Rain and spray can reduce visibility and when the road is wet it can take up to twice as long to stop so it makes sense to slow down when it's raining and leave plenty of space between you and the vehicle in front. It's also a good idea to check the latest conditions before setting out on a journey – it only takes a minute and can save you a lot of time if there is an incident on your route."• Did you get any pictures of the lightning last night?
