The Met Office Issues Yellow Weather Warning for Thunderstorms Across Cambridgeshire
Key Highlights :
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms across Cambridgeshire, covering areas such as Cambridge, Ely and Huntingdon. The warning is in place from the early hours of this morning (June 20) until 10.30am. The forecaster says that there is a chance that the storms will cause difficult driving conditions and heavy travel disruption throughout the day, with slower journey times and possible delays or cancellations to flights, bus and train services.
The warning comes as lightning streaks across the sky, with the latest Met Office weather forecasts suggesting thunderstorms may take place in the county at around lunchtime. The Met Office weather warning said: "An area of heavy rain and thunderstorms will move northeastwards during Tuesday morning. This will bring 10-20 mm in one hour to many places within the warning area but a smaller corridor of torrential rain giving 30-40 mm in one to two hours in places accompanied by frequent lightning and gusty winds."
No other weather warnings are scheduled for the rest of the week, although normal conditions are expected to resume later in the week. Temperatures are due to reach highs of 27°C with clear sky and sunshine forecast from tomorrow (June 21).
It is important to stay safe during a storm, and the Met Office has issued a number of tips on how to do so. These include preparing for flooding and power cuts, and avoiding driving in extreme weather conditions. It is also important to stay away from tall trees and buildings, as well as to avoid using any electrical appliances.
