The Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings across several regions of the UK as thunderstorms are predicted to bring heavy rain, lightning, and possible disruption this July.
What to Expect
The storms, expected to develop rapidly, could lead to localized flooding, transport delays, and power cuts. The Met Office has urged residents to stay updated on weather alerts and take necessary precautions.
Affected Areas
While the exact locations may shift, the warnings currently cover parts of:
- Southern England
- The Midlands
- Eastern regions
Some areas could see up to 30-40mm of rainfall within just a few hours.
Safety Advice
Authorities recommend:
- Avoiding unnecessary travel during peak storm hours
- Securing loose outdoor items

- Keeping mobile devices charged in case of emergencies
The unsettled weather pattern follows an unusually warm spell across the country, with meteorologists noting this is typical for British summers where hot periods often give way to thunderstorms.
