The Met Office has alerted to potential thunderstorms with intense rainfall poised to hit parts of the UK on Wednesday evening. Following a pleasant Tuesday, areas could see 20-40mm of rain in a few hours. While London enjoys sunny weather and warmer temperatures, the risk of thundery showers exists, especially later in the week. As warm air from southern regions moves in, temperatures might peak at 29C by Friday. Despite no immediate severe weather warnings, the Met Office suggests that warnings could soon follow as conditions evolve.
These thunderstorms are being triggered by some warm, humid air that is moving into the UK from the south.
The intense rainfall could see 20-40mm accumulating over just a few hours, which could cause some disruption.
While there are no severe weather warnings issued at the moment, it is possible thunderstorm warnings may be issued this week.
As temperatures rise this week, it is possible heatwave thresholds could be reached in some parts of the UK.
