UK weather: Met Office warns of danger to life from thunderstorms and floods | UK weather

According to predictions, thunderstorms and floods may pose a danger to life in some parts of England this weekend.

Met Office issued a storm warning for most of London and Southeastern England until 11:00 am on Saturday, where heavy rain may cause “fast flowing or deep flood water”.

15 to 25 mm (0.6 to 0.9 inches) below one hour and yellow storm warnings are applied in most of the UK until 21.00. Scotland has a yellow warning from 16:00 to Sunday on Saturday.

As a storm moves from France, a long -term downpour emerges and may cause “some important surface waters on Saturday morning” and may cause “important effects ında in more urban areas.

Frequent lightning and localized surface water is also possible and drivers are asked to be careful. Many schools in England and Wales are expected to be busy on the roads as they break during summer holidays.

Met Office said that the houses and the business world were likely to flood and that some communities could be cut if the roads are flooded.

“The situation is developing and warnings can be changed or added,” the main meteorologist of the MET office said.

London is particularly sensitive to surface water problems during storms due to the prevalence of non -permeable surfaces. Under the amber warning, it may fall 20 to 40 mm in one hour, and accumulates 70 to 100 mm in a few hours of heavy downpour.

“There will be more enjoyable air spells in some parts of the UK during the weekend, there are some sunny spells while moving between systems,” Page said.

Temperatures are expected to remain low in the 20s with a permanent cloud and rain in young people, but it can reach the 20s in the south during brighter spells.

The Amber warning comes after the first warnings published for London since January 2024, when Storm Henc has been sweeping into the central regions of England and Wales, and after the start of the registration of England in 1884.

Scientists, at the beginning of this week, the record -breaking excessive air is a new norm in the UK, and air records, fossil fuels spread by the burning of the carbon pollution as a result of the last decade of the climate has changed, he said.
