The UK is set to experience a mixed Bank Holiday weekend with initial sunshine giving way to thunderstorms, heavy rain, and hail. Forecasters predict temperatures will reach up to 21°C on Saturday, encouraging many to head to the beaches. However, the Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms across parts of northern England, the Midlands, East Anglia, and northeast Wales on Sunday. Up to 30mm (1.2 inches) of rain could fall in under an hour, leading to potential flooding and travel disruptions. Londoners are advised to enjoy the sun while it lasts as rain and thunderstorms are expected to hit the capital on Sunday afternoon. The warnings extend to various regions including Denbighshire, Flintshire, Wrexham, Powys, and the West Midlands. Motorists are cautioned as over 20 million cars are expected on the roads, potentially facing hazardous conditions due to the severe weather.
