The UK is experiencing a series of yellow weather warnings issued by the Met Office for rain and thunderstorms across large parts of the country, particularly affecting southern and southeastern England. These warnings, active from July 20 through July 31, highlight the potential for heavy rainfall within short periods, which may lead to localized flooding and disruption. Specific warnings have been issued for thunderstorms with risks of hail and flash flooding, especially in southern England. Weather forecasts indicate a mix of cloudy skies, patchy rain, and occasional showers across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, with some brighter spells and dry intervals. The Met Office has advised the public to stay weather aware due to the possibility of torrential downpours and travel disruptions caused by thundery showers and heavy rain moving southeastwards. The overall weather pattern includes muggy conditions in the south and scattered showers breaking out in eastern regions, with some areas experiencing outbreaks of heavy rain and thunderstorms.
