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!
