The Met Office issues yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms in Northern England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, prompting travel advisories and safety precautions for drivers.
The UK's Met Office has issued yellow weather warnings for thunderstorms in Northern England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. This follows a period of hot weather, and the organization advises motorists to switch off electronic devices in vehicles due to the risk of current traveling through them. RAC has advised drivers to delay non-essential journeys in England due to the risk of thunderstorms and heavy rain, which can cause slippery roads and potentially lead to over 1,600 fatalities or serious injuries annually. Motorists are recommended to delay journeys during storms, stick to major roads, reduce speeds, and maintain a firm grip on the steering wheel.
