    There's heavy traffic on the A46 southbound in Binley Woods, between T.G.I Island and Tollbar Island, BBC Travel News reports.

    So the thunder, lightning and rain (great festival weather) kept me awake last night.

    The BBC Coventry & Warwickshire team are just arriving on site at the Memorial Park and they tell us it's still pretty dry underfoot despite last night's storm. Andy McGeechan tweeted, external this amazing picture of the lightning over Coventry.
