POLICY WIRE — London, UK — Festival enthusiasts and cricket fans are in for another day of wet weather on Saturday, as the Met Office has issued a fresh yellow weather warning for heavy showers and thunderstorms.

The Met Office has released a new yellow warning for heavy showers and thunderstorms, signaling that festivalgoers will face more wet conditions. The warning comes as the festival season continues across the UK, with the weather expected to become increasingly unsettled due to low pressure moving in from the south-west.

Major UK festivals, including Leeds and Creamfields, have already experienced significant rain and storms. The forecast for the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend indicates that these events will continue to be affected by adverse weather conditions.

The yellow weather warning for thunderstorms extends across various regions, with some areas anticipating 5-25mm of rain. The Met Office warns of potential flooding to property, transport disruptions, and power cuts.
