Kent Thunderstorms Heavy Rain Forecast Issued for England and Wales
The Met Office warning comes as the region prepares for a potentially wet and stormy weekend, with residents advised to stay prepared for the heavy rain and potential thunderstorms. The weather forecast will continue to be monitored, with updates provided as necessary.
A yellow weather warning has been issued for parts of England and Wales, including central and southern regions, due to frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms expected on Saturday. The Met Office warning, effective from 9am to 6pm, forecasts 10-15mm of rain in less than an hour and 30-40mm over several hours, potentially exceeding the total amount recorded in May.
The warning area includes parts of central and southern England and Wales, where gusty winds and hail are also possible. The Met Office has advised that frequent lightning, hail, and strong winds are expected, making it difficult to predict exactly where thunderstorms will hit due to their small and fast-changing nature. Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay prepared for the heavy rain and potential thunderstorms.
Sunday is expected to be a quieter, drier day, but showers are still possible. However, a new low-pressure system is forecast for Tuesday, potentially bringing warmer air and a risk of thunderstorms by the end of the week. The Met Office will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on the weather forecast.
The yellow weather warning is a reminder for residents to stay informed about the latest weather forecast and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. With the potential for heavy rain and thunderstorms, it is essential to stay up to date with the latest updates from the Met Office.
