Londoners are set to face a damp Bank Holiday as the Met Office issues warnings of heavy rain and thunderstorms, prompting concerns of possible flooding across the capital.
From 8am until 9pm today, London is expected to experience a relentless onslaught of heavy rain and intermittent showers, with temperatures reaching a mere 14°C.
According to the Met Office forecast, sunny spells will be interspersed with heavy showers, some accompanied by thunderstorms. However, southeastern parts of the UK are likely to witness persistent rainfall throughout the day.
The south of England, including London, is bracing for the worst of the downpour, with thunderstorm alerts in place from midday until 9pm tonight. The Met Office cautioned that thunderstorms and heavy downpours could result in localized flooding and up to 20-30 mm of rain per hour in some areas.
Netweather also issued a thunderstorm warning, highlighting the widespread risk of slow-moving storms across inland England and southern Scotland. The organization warned of heavy rain and the possibility of hail, potentially leading to localised flooding.
Londoners are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions as they navigate through the inclement weather conditions. With umbrellas at the ready and raincoats on standby, residents are urged to stay indoors wherever possible to avoid the brunt of the storm.
