Thunderstorm warnings mark end of UK summer

The Met Office has issued yellow thunderstorm warnings for Friday and Saturday as our spell of warm weather comes to an end.

As well as the risk of lightning, some places in southern England and Wales could see as much as 50mm (2in) of rain, bringing the possibility of flooding and transport disruption.

This is in contrast to the past week, when many parts of the UK experienced warm and sunny weather, with temperatures widely reaching the low to mid-20s Celsius.

In northern Scotland the mercury rose to 25C, making it the warmest spell here this late in September since 2019. Friday afternoon is forecast to bring scattered, heavy showers and thunderstorms to parts of southern England and Wales. Gusty winds and hail may accompany the downpours, with the possibility of local flash flooding.

Later in the day, the storms are expected to fade. However, another spell of storms is forecast to reach the south coast of England in the early hours of Saturday, with more downpours spreading across England and Wales throughout the day.

On both days, the thunderstorms will be hit or miss, meaning that some locations will escape them altogether. However, where they do occur, as much as 50mm (2in) of rain could fall.
