The Met Office has issued a new weather alert following deadly storms that hit London and other parts of the UK. The storms caused significant disruption, with reports of fallen trees, power outages, and damaged infrastructure. Emergency services were called to multiple incidents, including one fatal accident in central London.
The weather system brought heavy rain and strong winds, leading to flash flooding in several areas. The capital saw record rainfall in parts of the city, with some streets turning into rivers. The Met Office has warned that further disruption is likely, with the rain expected to clear by late afternoon. Temperatures are forecast to peak at 16°C, offering little relief to residents still dealing with the aftermath.
This follows a series of severe weather events in the UK, with the Met Office noting an increase in extreme weather patterns linked to climate change. The latest storms are part of a broader trend of more frequent and intense weather systems affecting the region. Authorities have urged residents to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary travel.
