BREAKING NEWS Nevada rocked by earthquake swarm with the strongest reaching nearly 5 magnitude
Nevada has experienced an uptick in seismic activity over the last 24 hours. The US Geological Survey (USGS) detected seven earthquakes, with the largest measuring a 4.8 magnitude, that hit at 7:16am ET near Caliente. The other tremors, starting Thursday and continuing into Friday, ranged from 1.1 magnitude to 3.3 magnitude. The 4.8 magnitude is the latest earthquake to hit, with shaking detected as far south as Las Vegas, which sits more than 150 miles south. It was likely caused by tectonic activity along one of the many fault systems in the Basin and Range Province, a region known for stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust. The USGS detect a 3.3 magnitude earthquake Thursday about 14 miles northeast of Nellis Air Force Base. This was followed by two smaller tremors just minutes later. Nellis Air Force Base tested US nuclear weapons above ground during the 1950s and 1960s, but testing moved underground until all operations ceased in 1992. Nevada is the nation's third-most seismically active state, ranking behind only California and Alaska. This is a developing story... More updates to come

Weekend washout warning amid thunderstorm alert
The Met Office has issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for southern England, parts of the Midlands, London, east England, and south Wales on Saturday. Frequent heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected, potentially bringing 10-15 mm of rain in less than an hour, and 30-40 mm over several hours in some areas. The storms may also bring lightning, hail, and strong winds, causing potential disruptions to public transport and hazardous driving conditions. The Met Office warns of possible damage to buildings from lightning strikes and short-term power loss. Despite the stormy weekend and dropping temperatures, the Met Office's three-month outlook suggests a higher chance of a hot summer with an increased risk of heatwaves.
