Parts of Scotland to be hit by storms and building damage as lightening strike warning issued

Parts of Scotland have been issued with a yellow weather warning with the threat of thunderstorms, lightening and heavy rain.

Many regions of the country have been basking in a mini heatwave the past few days, but unfortunately, it’s not to last.

The Met Office have put a yellow warning in place across the west coast of Scotland, including Ayrshire and Strathclyde.

They say that “although heavy rain is possible, lightning strikes seem the more likely hazard.”

They warn that lightning impacts are possible – with potential short term loss of power and possible damage to buildings.

Temperatures are set to reach around 21C today but we can expect a mixture of sunny spells and heavy rain.

The forecast reads: “Many places will have a dry day with some hazy sunshine. However isolated thundery showers may spread northeast in the afternoon. ”

And it’s set to get worse tomorrow.

“A mostly cloudy day with showers, these turning heavier for a time in the afternoon. Turning drier and somewhat brighter by early evening. Becoming cooler. Maximum temperature 18 °C.”

Better put the BBQs on hold for now.
