Severe thunderstorm forecast for England and Wales: Heatwave gives way to hail, heavy rain and lightning

Summary

A detailed weather forecast for severe convective storms (thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail) across England and Wales, driven by an upper-level ridge shifting east and a cut-off low drifting north from Portugal. This setup transports very warm, moist air northwestward while steep mid-level lapse rates from Spain/France create conditions for explosive thunderstorm development, with the potential for large hail, frequent lightning, and localized flooding.
