Yellow weather warnings are in effect for thunderstorms and heavy rain across much of the UK, primarily impacting travel and causing potential flash floods. Scotland also has distinct warnings from Borders to Aberdeen, while severe amber thunderstorm warnings for London have recently ended. A heatwave preceded these storms, leaving the ground parched and less absorbent, increasing flooding risks. Yellow alerts denote slight chances of power cuts and disruptions. Thunderstorms form when warm, humid air interacts with colder air, allowing for heavy rain and storm development.
Yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms and heavy rain are in place for much of the UK, with potential for flash flooding impacting travel and power services.
The recent warm spell has made flooding more likely and severe as dry ground cannot absorb as much water, following a heatwave that caused drought.
Yellow alerts indicate a "slight chance" of power cuts and flooding for roads and businesses, with delays and cancellations to train and bus services.
Thunderstorms develop when warm, humid air exists below much colder air, destabilizing the atmosphere to create heavy rain and storms.
