Heavy and Thundery Showers to Hit Parts of UK as Thunderstorm Warning Activated

SOUTHERN ENGLAND AND WALES, JUL 31 – Thunderstorm warning for southern England runs from 10am to 9pm with heavy rain expected in Wales mainly in the morning, affecting up to 50% of the UK, Met Office says.

  • The Met Office issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for parts of southern England on Thursday, July 31, from 10am to 9pm.
  • The warning resulted from a complex meteorological setup bringing heavy rain, lightning, and hail, with thunderstorms expected to be hit and miss across the area.
  • Forecasters predicted downpours could deposit up to 60mm of rain within two hours, causing possible flash flooding, transport delays, road closures, and power cuts in affected areas.
  • Stephen Dixon emphasized that rainfall amounts will vary across the warning zone, and not all locations within it will experience heavy rain.
  • Thunderstorms are expected to clear overnight Thursday, followed by showers weakening on Friday, with drier and more settled weather likely by early August.
