A suspected tornado swirled in central Texas on Saturday as severe weather continued in the region on Sunday, May 26.

This footage was filmed by Meri Combs, who said they captured it near Lawn, a town in Taylor County, on Saturday afternoon. Combs told Storyful that the possible tornado “became rain wrapped” as strong wind and rain came down near the town.

The National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for the region through Saturday afternoon.

The longest day of the year is almost here, but there has been barely a hint of summer in the UK - while parts of Europe swelter in record-breaking heat. Greece recorded its earliest ever heatwave last week, as temperatures soared about 38C for more than three days running. It's a huge contrast to the weather in the UK, which has been "disappointingly cool" so far this month, Sky News meteorologist Steff Gaulter says.
