The warning comes into force tomorrow (Friday, August 18)
Residents across parts of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire should be prepared for potential disruption on Friday morning as thunderstorms are forecasted to hit the area. The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning, indicating that these storms may lead to localised disruption and impact various aspects of daily life.
Motorists should anticipate challenging driving conditions due to the heavy rain associated with thunderstorms. Spray and standing water on the roads can make it difficult to maintain control of vehicles, increasing the risk of accidents. As a result, longer journey times by car and bus are expected. It is advisable to drive with caution, reduce speed, and keep a safe distance from other vehicles.
Lightning strikes are a common occurrence during thunderstorms and can pose a threat to buildings and structures. There is a chance of some damage to a few buildings and structures if they are struck by lightning. It is important to stay indoors during thunderstorms and avoid seeking shelter under trees or near tall objects that could attract lightning.
