UK to be hit by heavy showers with risk of thunderstorms and flooding
- On May 10, 2025, the UK will experience heavy showers with risks of thunderstorms and flooding, mainly affecting the West Country, South Wales, and West Midlands.
- Following a dry spring when many regions were in need of rainfall, wet conditions are expected as rain begins moving northward from the south late Saturday into Sunday.
- Meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey warned of intense, brief spells of rain accompanied by hail and lightning, emphasizing that thunderstorms can be unpredictable and may develop quickly with little warning.
- Rainfall between 20mm and 30mm may occur over a few hours, with temperatures rising to around 25 to 26 degrees Celsius, which is roughly 8 degrees higher than the typical average for this season.
- The Met Office continues to assess the situation for any additional warnings as heavy rainfall may lead to localized minor flooding, and drivers are advised to remain cautious due to the possibility of sudden thunderstorms.
