On Monday afternoon, London experienced a severe hailstorm, leading to significant flooding and disruption. Roads like the Hendon Way were blocked due to floodwater, with some streets resembling streams, particularly in Shoreditch and Brick Lane. The storm prompted Transport for London to close the IFS Cloud Cable Car over lightning risks. A yellow thunderstorm warning was issued, affecting extensive areas and signaling potential travel delays. This extreme weather sharply contrasted the dayâs earlier warm temperatures of 24C, which are expected to rise to 26C on Tuesday with clearer weather ahead.
Hailstones pelted London on Monday afternoon, blocking roads and leaving some streets covered in an inch of water. Flood water shut the Hendon Way (A41) between Wessex Gardens and the Brent Cross Flyover.
A yellow thunderstorm warning came into force at midday on Monday, stretching from London across large parts of the west of England and Wales.
