The Met Office has confirmed hail and thunder risk for London today, and if you're heading out this morning, that changes your plans. Thursday the fourteenth of May is not a day to gamble on a dry commute.
The temperature picture compounds the problem. Today's high sits between twelve and fourteen degrees Celsius, with a low of around six overnight.
Here's what matters for the commute decision. Hail and thunder don't just make you wet.
The important distinction is between today and what follows. Thursday evening does bring a gradual drying trend, with conditions turning calmer through the night into Friday morning.
The longer view offers genuine relief. From around the twenty-first to twenty-third of May, temperatures are forecast to surge to twenty-three to twenty-four degrees Celsius.
