Enjoy the light show for those underneath it! 🔥 — UK Thunderstorm Updates (@UKStormUpdates) June 13, 2025 Rail operators warned customers to check for updates on services on Saturday morning, while Heathrow Airport apologised to passengers late on Friday night for flights delayed by "adverse weather conditions". Katharine Smith, flood duty manager at the Environment Agency, said: 'There is a risk of significant and localised surface water flooding impacts in parts of England. 'Environment Agency teams have ensured rivers and watercourses are clear ahead of the storms and stand ready to support local authorities in their response to surface water flooding. 'We urge people not to drive through flood water as just 30cm of flowing water is enough to move your car." Met Office chief meteorologist Steve Ramsdale said: "While the warnings cover the areas of the country most at risk of seeing thunderstorms, not everyone within a warning area will experience a thunderstorm. For many, it will remain dry much of the time" Heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to ease slightly throughout the day, with the driest and brightest weather in the South East, which will remain very warm. London is expected to see highs of 25C on Saturday, with temperatures expected to climb steadily through the coming week. The Met is forecasting peaks of 28C or 29C on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday – a run of hot weather that would officially mark a heatwave.
