Thunderstorm Alerts and Flood Fears
The Met Office predicts bursts of sun between showers, but don’t expect much relief. Southeastern England, including London, is bracing for persistent rain and thunder, with storm warnings in place from midday through the evening.
Officials warn some areas could see 20-30mm of rain per hour, risking flash floods and travel chaos. So much for the Bank Holiday break!
Widespread Storm Risks Across England and Scotland

Stay Safe, Londoners!
If you must venture outside, keep your umbrella and raincoat handy. The advice? Stick indoors where possible to dodge the storm’s worst lashings. This Bank Holiday looks more like a washout than a warm-up – so prepare accordingly!
