On August 14, 2025, the UK has been hit by a sudden shift in weather, with thunderstorm warnings issued for 11 regions across the country. The Met Office has put yellow weather warnings in place for parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, which are expected to remain until 10 pm tonight.
Residents in the affected areas, including Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Highland, Angus, Perth and Kinross, Fife, Dundee, County Antrim, County Armagh, and County Down, have been advised to prepare emergency kits. The warnings suggest the possibility of power cuts, flooding, and disruptions to travel, with a small chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.
The sudden change in weather comes just a day after heat health alerts were issued across the nation, with yellow alerts in place for several regions until Monday. The UK Health Security Agency warned of a possible rise in fatalities, particularly among the elderly and those with health conditions, as well as increased demand on health services.
As the UK navigates these weather challenges, residents in the affected areas are being urged to stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during the upcoming thunderstorms.
