Met Office warns of ‘torrential downpours’ & MORE thunderstorms in hours after drivers stranded & streets underwater
BRITS are being braced for further flooding chaos as the Met Office warns of more “torrential downpours” and thunderstorms.
Yellow weather alerts warning of potential danger to life are in place across the country from 3pm today to 8pm tomorrow.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said that much of Friday would be “hot and humid”.
He added there was a “small chance” temperatures could reach a scorching 30C.
“A good chunk of England and southern Scotland will be dry for most of Friday,” Mr Deakin said.
He added that Wales and parts of the west of England could be hit by some “beefy showers” following “a humid start to what will be a very warm day for some on Friday”.
The Met have issued a yellow weather warning for London, Wales, England’s east and south east, east and south west, as well as the West Midlands.
“It will be cooler in the far south west, particularly as the heavy downpours arrive in the afternoon,” Mr Deakin said.
While many areas within the warning zone may escape severe weather, torrential downpours could bring 30–50mm of rain in a short time before conditions ease on Saturday morning.
Cardiff, Plymouth, Bath, parts of Greater London, Brighton and Norwich were among the areas included in the warning.
Up to 80mm of rain could fall on Saturday with storms bringing thunder and lightning.
Huge swathes of the UK, including the south west, West Midlands and the North, along with Wales and Northern Ireland, will be placed under a yellow warning.
The Met Office have warned there is a small chance of fast flowing or deep floodwater causing danger to life.
It comes after drivers were forced to abandon their cars and battle knee-deep water across the south west of England yesterday.
Locals in Plymouth, Devon, were spotted struggling to stop water gushing into their homes and businesses after heavy rainfall.
And drivers were seen battling through knee-deep floodwater as bins floated across the roads after downpours hit.
Winds of up to 50mph battered hills and coastlines as the Met Office warned drivers to “watch for possible danger” on roads.
Plymouth Highways confirmed two road closures, saying: “Gdynia Way is currently closed in both directions due to flooding”.
It added: “Kings Street is currently closed due to flooding near the junction with Western Approach.”
The city’s Theatre Royal was also been forced to close due to floods.
James Mackenzie-Blackman, TRP’s Chief Executive and Artistic Director, said: “The torrential rain has required us to close the Theatre Royal today as we continue to deal with a significant flood into our basement.
“Our priority is the safety of our staff, our artists, visitors and participants.
“We will confirm if any public performances are impacted as soon as we can.”
Lidl is selling faux olive trees to add a decorative touch to your home – they’re cheapest around & look incredibly real
SHOPPERS are rushing to get their hands on a faux olive tree from Lidl.
The budget retailer is offering affordable ways to bring a touch of the Med into your home.
The Livarno Home Artificial Olive Tree is currently available for £19.99 online and £19.06 in Lidl stores.
Lidl claims the small tree is a “detailed replica with natural colours”.
It stands 118cm tall and comes in a pot with an 18cm diameter.
Meanwhile, Ikea is selling a 149cm artificial potted olive tree for just £25.
“This artificial plant is made of plastic, of which at least 50% comes from recycled materials,” the Swedish retailer claims.
On the pricier end is Dunelm’s version, costing £100.
Dunelm’s artificial olive tree stands at 140cm tall – thanks in part to an added 15cm from its oven basket-style plant pot.
For those after a statement piece, Costco is offering a 6.5ft faux olive tree in a French-style crock planter for £150.
The product description reads: “This exceptionally realistic Olive tree will thrive perfectly anywhere, every season.”
But if you’d prefer the real thing, you can always plant an olive tree.
Though native to the Mediterranean, olive trees can thrive in the UK – as long as they’re given sufficient care.
Sunlight and shelter
- Olive trees do best in a sunny, sheltered location.
- They can tolerate intense sunlight and drought.
- But they typically struggle in extreme cold and high winds.
Watering
- Water potted olive trees regularly from mid-March to late October.
- Water your tree until water comes out of the bottom of the pot.
- In hot, dry weather, you may need to add more water.
- Reduce watering for younger trees, and stop watering established trees in the winter.
Drainage
- Ensure your tree has adequate drainage.
Pruning
- Prune the tree back each year to encourage good leaf growth.
Winter care
- Wrap your tree over winter to keep the harsh wind out.
- Give your tree extra protection if cold snaps are forecast.
Fruiting
- Olive trees need at least three months a year of cold weather to flower and fruit.
- Temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, along with a fluctuation in night and daytime temperatures initiate the fruiting process.

I’ve made £18k on Vinted – my photos always stand out and it’s all about NOT taking them on a white background
A RESELLER who has made over £18,000 on Vinted has shared the genius tip she swears by to ensure her pictures always stand out.
Maisie regularly shares her tips and tricks with others on her TikTok page, and recently shared a clip explaining why she’s now opting against using a white background for her pictures to list on the selling app.
Instead, she’s chosen to take them on a grey background – and it’s working a treat.
“If you look at this grey background, the colour of this dress just shows up so much nicer,” Maisie said in the video.
“In terms of colour theory and on the colour wheel, grey is actually a neutral background, while white and black absorb all the colours.
“So to get an accurate representation of the colour, a grey background is apparently the best for photography.
“And obviously as resellers we want to make sure that we’re getting the most accurate and the most professional pictures for our listings!”
Maisie showed how she has been hanging her items against a grey wall for the pictures, but said that “lots of people have just a grey sheet of fabric, rug, whatever”.
And in the comments section, lots of viewers said they were keen to test out the hack themselves.
“Guess who is painting their wall grey now,” one said.
“Are you painting right now?” Maisie asked.
To which the person then replied: “Hahaha no! I did however check under my stairs and check what paint I had.
“THEN I texted my fella and woke him up asking if he still had any grey paint. He was not impressed!”
“That makes sense!” another added.
“I’ve got grey walls all around my house, just white doors.
“I need a hook on my wall now lol, thank you.”
“That actually makes so much sense,” a third agreed.
“That’s it I’m going grey lol!”
New Vinted rules to be aware of
IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.
If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.
However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBay, Airbnb, Etsy, Amazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.
You’re unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year – generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.
A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit – the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.
However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.
It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.
While your data won’t be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you’ll still need to pay tax as normal.
“We’re all going grey!” Maisie laughed in response.
“I’ll have to paint a grey feature wall in my dining room now,” someone else joked.
While Sam, the Unbusy Bee, who was the first one to share the clever trick, added: “Perfectly explained!”
