Severe Storms Set to Slam Southern England and Wales This Weekend
Brace yourselves! Heavy rain and fierce thunderstorms are storming into southern England and Wales from Friday night, with the Midlands and south Wales getting hit early Saturday.
Flash Floods and Hail Threaten Central South England

- Homes and businesses face rapid flood risk and damage from relentless rain, lightning, and hail.
- Train and bus services could suffer delays or cancellations due to flooding and electrical issues from lightning strikes.
- Power cuts are on the cards, disrupting homes and businesses in hardest-hit areas.
