Increasing amounts of cloud will move in across the south of UK

Warm and humid air from the southeast could cause thunderstorms to develop later on Saturday and through Sunday.

After a chilly start, Saturday will be another fine and dry day for most with plenty of sunshine. Increasing amounts of cloud will move in across the south of the UK with the possibility of some showers in the south of England for a time.

A more notable change to our weather moves in overnight on Saturday night and into Sunday. Showers and isolated thunderstorms are forecast to develop across parts of southern England on Saturday night. By Sunday morning, there is an increasing risk of more active and organised heavy showers and thunderstorms moving in to, or developing across, parts of southern England.

Thunderstorm warning issued

A Yellow severe weather warning for thunderstorms on Sunday has been issued for a swathe of England, fringing into eastern Wales. Although most places will miss them, and there remains a possibility that they fail to develop at all, if they do develop within this warning area 30 to 40mm of rain may fall in less than an hour with perhaps over 75mm in one or two places, leading to a chance of flooding and disruption.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Harris, said: “Through Saturday night and into Sunday we’ll see a gradual change in our weather across the UK with an increasing chance of heavy thundery showers developing, particularly across central parts of the UK. Should they develop there is the risk of some local disruption from intense rainfall, gusty winds, lightning and possibly hail too. Not everywhere within the warning area will see thunderstorms, and confidence in any individual location being affected remains extremely low at this time.

“The risk of thunderstorms steadily transfers northwards through Sunday afternoon and into the early evening. If you have plans for Sunday, I’d recommend keeping up to date with the Met Office forecast and any updates to the warnings.”

As the CH-47 Chinook helicopter soars through the skies over Hawaii, carrying soldiers on a training mission, there exists a moment of unparalleled wonder and exhilaration for those fortunate enough to gaze out of the rear. The feeling is akin to being suspended between earth and sky, with the lush greenery of the Hawaiian landscape sprawling below like a vibrant patchwork quilt.

As the wind rushes past and the rotor blades slice through the air, there's a sense of freedom unlike any other. With every twist and turn of the helicopter, the view morphs into a breathtaking panorama, revealing hidden valleys, towering peaks, and pristine beaches lapped by azure waters. It's a sight that evokes a profound sense of awe and gratitude, reminding soldiers of the vast beauty that exists beyond the confines of their military duties.

In this moment, as they peer out of the rear of the Chinook, the stresses and pressures of army life momentarily fade away, replaced by a sense of peace and tranquility. Surrounded by the camaraderie of their fellow soldiers, they find solace in the knowledge that they are part of something greater than themselves, bound by a shared sense of purpose and duty.

But amidst the serenity of the view lies an undercurrent of excitement and anticipation. For soldiers, even in moments of leisure, there is always the awareness of the training mission at hand, the need to remain vigilant and prepared for whatever challenges may arise. It's a reminder that even in the midst of beauty, the call of duty is ever-present.

Yet, despite the demands of their service, there's a profound appreciation for the opportunity to experience such moments of respite and reflection. For in the rear of a CH-47 Chinook over Hawaii, amidst the splendor of the landscape, soldiers find a fleeting glimpse of the world beyond their military obligations—a world filled with wonder, adventure, and endless possibility. And in that moment, they are reminded of the privilege and honor it is to serve their country, both in times of peace and in times of conflict.
