Storms

Storms are a common and sometimes severe weather event in the UK, with high winds, heavy rain, and even lightning causing disruption. Strong winds can bring down trees and power lines, damage buildings, and make travel dangerous. Storms can develop rapidly, leading to power cuts, flooding, and hazardous conditions. Preparing in advance and knowing how to stay safe during and after a storm can help protect lives and property.
