THE VALE of Glamorgan could be at risk of thunderstorms over the coming days, according to the Met Office.

The region has enjoyed a few days of hot and sunny weather to start September, but unfortunately, this could be at an end soon.

While Tuesday is set to stay sunny, the forecast is rather unpredictable for Wednesday and Thursday (September 8-9).
