Northern Ireland, large parts of Wales and the south west of England will be hit on tomorrow.
The weather is expected to reach parts of the south east of England on both Friday and Saturday.
Businesses and homeowners were warned of the potential flooding risks from the extreme weather, which could pose a threat to life.
A spokesperson for the Met Office said: “There is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.
“There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds.
“Although many places within the warning area may not see any impacts, torrential downpours could bring 30-50mm of rain.”
