A further amber warning for thunderstorms has been in place from 4am on Saturday in the south east of England and London. This is due to end at 11am.<\/p>\n

In addition a 24-hour yellow weather warning has been issued across Scotland from 12pm on Saturday, while a yellow thunderstorm warning is issued Northern Ireland from 12pm to 6pm.<\/p>\n

The Met Office has three categories of weather warning, depending on the likely impact of severe weather and also how likely it is to strike in a particular area.<\/p>\n

A yellow warning is issued when weather conditions are expected to disrupt travel and traffic and may impact on daily routines but are not likely to pose a risk to life or property.<\/p>\n

An amber warning is more severe and advises people to think about changing their plans to minimise the risk.<\/p>\n

A red warning means weather conditions are expected to be dangerous with widespread damage to property and a risk to life, with the public usually advised to avoid travelling.<\/p>\n
