US EditionYellow warning for thunderstorms issued for large parts of England and Wales
- The Met Office issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms on Saturday covering large parts of southern England, the Midlands, and Wales from 9am to 6pm.
- This warning follows a spring marked by record warmth and unusually low rainfall, conditions driven by ongoing climate change affecting the UK.
- The thunderstorms could produce 10 to 15mm of rain in under an hour, with some areas possibly receiving 30 to 40mm over several hours from successive showers.
- Dan Suri, the Met Office's lead meteorologist, explained that pinpointing the precise location of thunderstorms is challenging due to their small size and rapid development.
- The warning suggests possible transport disruption, short-term power loss, and damage from lightning, and advises people to prepare emergency kits and seek enclosed shelter if outside.
