Thunderstorms are hit and miss and forecasters have a hard time forecasting where they may hit.

Often wide areas of the country are put under a weather warning as thunderstorms can hit anywhere and travel across wide areas.

The Met Office have created this handy video showing why it is so hard to predict storms and why some areas dont see any activity at all.
