Initial forecasts for storms on Monday and Tuesday did not materialise in most parts of Gwent, while temperatures remained high with humid conditions.

But those thunderstorms arrived in force on Wednesday, with spectacular lightning displays visible across the whole region.

That same day, the Met Office issued a six-day yellow weather warning for more thunderstorms.
