The UK Met Office has issued an amber warning for torrential thunderstorms across London and southeast England from Friday night into Saturday morning. Forecasters warn of flash floods, power cuts, and travel chaos, with up to 100mm of rain possible in some areas within hours. Yellow warnings also cover much of England, with Scotland facing rain alerts through Sunday. Communities risk being cut off as road closures and transport disruptions loom. Despite heavy rain, temperatures could still reach the high 20s. The warnings come amid ongoing drought concerns, with hosepipe bans and reservoir levels critically low across regions.
