Thunderstorms and their impacts | Up in the air | Met Office Learn About Weather
Every day we take precautions to avoid being badly affected by terrible but highly unlikely events. We wear seat belts in our cars in the unlikely event of a car accident. We lock the front door of our house in the unlikely event of a robbery. We also receive warnings of thunderstorms when there's a risk of significant impacts from those storms, even if many places within the thunderstorm warning area won't receive a drop of rain. Why are thunderstorms so hit and miss and why is it important to warn people about them, even if they are not always guaranteed?
