The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain and stormy conditions in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lightning might hit between 3 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. on Saturday, according to the weather service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affected areas in Scotland are anticipated to be limited to Dumfries, Galloway, Lothian, Central, Tayside, Fife, Grampian, Highlands, and Eilean Siar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a weather update, the Met Office said: \u201cHeavy showers and a few thunderstorms are likely to develop through Friday afternoon, and although easing for a time mid evening, are likely to become more widespread overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe showers will be slow moving in places leading to hourly rainfall accumulations of 10-20 mm with the chance of 30 to 40 mm in a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLightning will be an additional hazard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agency added: \u201cHeavy showers and thunderstorms may lead to some flooding and travel disruption.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the warning in Scotland the rest of the UK looks to have fairly settled weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Met Office forecast looking at August 25 and 26, most of the UK will experience \u201csunny spells and showers for most\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They continued: \u201cShowers most frequent in the north and west with a risk of hail and thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDriest and brightest in the southeast. Feeling cooler than Thursday for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking at Saturday, they said: \u201cScattered showers soon becoming more widespread occasionally heavy with a possibility of thunder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBreezy in the west. Rather cool for late August, but feeling reasonable in any sunshine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sadly for many Britons, it seems we\u2019ve left the last of the summer sunshine behind us with long-range forecasts predicting temperatures to cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the September forecast from the Met Office: \u201cTemperatures are likely to remain around average through early September but may become slightly above-average approaching the middle of the month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
