A series of severe weather events are currently impacting parts of Canada and the United Kingdom. In Canada, eastern Ontario and southern Quebec are experiencing multiple storms with risks including tornadoes, flooding, and significant damage, particularly in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region where a possible tornado caused notable destruction. Weather alerts remain active across Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, with warnings for sudden flooding and violent thunderstorms. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom is facing torrential thunderstorms with yellow and amber weather warnings issued across northeast England, southeast England, Scotland, and other regions. These storms pose a threat of flash flooding, with some areas expected to receive 60-90mm of rain, exceeding a month's typical precipitation. Authorities have advised residents to stay weather-aware and have provided guidance on preparing for heavy rain and flooding. The Met Office has highlighted the period from Saturday afternoon through Sunday midday as particularly vulnerable to heavy rain in Scotland and southeast England, where an amber thunderstorm warning is in effect.
