    Hail also possible - Thunderstorm risk for parts of the UK

Hail also possible
Thunderstorm risk for parts of the UK

Weather warning map of southern UK showing a yellow thunderstorm alert area around London and East Anglia, with lightning icons, a warning triangle, and a color-coded alert scale on Wednesday 13.05.
The strongest signals for thunderstorms are in south-east England, but could spread wider.

Warnings for thunderstorms cover parts of England today, amid wider heavy showers, strong gusts, and a chance of hail.

South-east England sees the strongest signals for developing thunderstorms towards the afternoon, though conditions are ripe along the east coast of England, into eastern Scotland.

Showers are more widespread aside from the thundery potential too, with growing gusts making for an unpleasant mid-week for many.

The heavier showers may also deliver bouts of hailstones too as they pass through.

Meanwhile, thunderstorms are forming across eastern Europe over the Netherlands, Belgium into parts of Germany and France.

Keep an eye on the LightningRadar later on Wednesday as these thunderstorms in the UK begin to form.

Severe weather hits Mallorca and Italy. Severe thunderstorms. . . Thursday, 10 September 2026
Numerous thunderstorms are sweeping across La Palma. The many lightning symbols on the radar and lightning map show that there is heavy lightning activity across large parts of the island. The thunderstorms are striking particularly in the island’s interior and in the south. On the right, you can see the aftermath: a large fallen tree has buried a car beneath it. Emergency services are clearing up the damage. So, along with the thunderstorms, not only heavy rain but also gusts of wind can become a problem.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. Up to 1,000 mm of rain. . . Wednesday, 8 July 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
