Unusual Deluge: Saturday Set to Bring More Rain Than Dry May
A significant weather event is expected this Saturday, June 7, 2025, as the UK faces a yellow thunderstorm warning issued by the Met Office. The warning, in effect from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, covers southern England, parts of the Midlands, and South Wales. Forecasters predict up to 40mm of rain in just a few hours, accompanied by frequent lightning, hail, and strong gusty winds. These conditions could lead to power outages, structural damage, and travel disruptions.
This storm follows an unusually dry start to the year, with England receiving only 32.8mm of rain in May. The upcoming rainfall on Saturday is expected to surpass that amount, highlighting the intensity of the anticipated weather event.
The unsettled weather is attributed to low-pressure systems moving across the country. While Sunday is expected to be drier, further rain is forecast in northern England on Monday.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay informed about the latest weather updates and take necessary precautions to ensure safety during the storm.
