Thunderstorms and heavy rain continues to batter the UK – London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

As summer officially ends thunderstorms and heavy rain is battering many parts of the UK.

The autumn equinox takes place today and this officially marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.

A weather warning is in place for Sunday affecting Wales, central and southwest England and there is another for Monday.

Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said, “With Sunday marking the autumnal equinox summer has now officially come to an end, and it ended with a bang for some of us.

“We’ve seen some very heavy showers and thunderstorms spreading their way in across southern areas of England, into parts of Wales as well during the course of today.

“This evening, those will continue to rumble their way on a bit, spreading again into parts of Midlands, Wales, then maybe just clipping the far south of Northern Ireland as well.

“Into the early hours of tomorrow morning we’ll also see our next batch of thundery rain moving its way into southern areas of England as well.”

He continued: “We do then have a rain warning in force throughout Sunday for this band of rain that’s going to be moving across Wales, central southern areas of England.

“Some very heavy pulses are possible with some surface water issues, travel disruption, so it is worth taking care if you are out and about or travelling during the day.”
