The Met Office has updated its yellow weather warning for thunderstorms on Wednesday, with heavy rain expected to affect 65 areas across the UK.
Warning duration and coverage
The warning is in place for 19 hours, starting from early Wednesday morning. It covers a wide swath of the country, with forecasters warning of lightning strikes and torrential downpours.
Areas under the alert include parts of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, though the full list of affected regions has been published by the Met Office.
Potential impacts
Heavy rain could lead to surface water flooding, travel disruption, and power cuts in some locations. The yellow warning indicates that while severe weather is possible, the likelihood of significant disruption is lower than with amber or red alerts.
The Met Office advises people to stay updated on the latest forecasts as conditions may change throughout the day.
