London weather: Thundery showers set to bring more misery to commuters during Tube strike
"Union barons are locked in a dispute with Transport for London (TfL) over pay and working conditions, forcing many Londoners to work from home or find alternative ways to commute. The capital's roads have been noticeably more congested during the industrial action, as workers seek alternative modes of transport to reach their desks. Thankfully, London has been blessed with sunshine and above-average temperatures over the past few days, creating perfect conditions for walking or cycling to work."
"However, those planning to walk, cycle or wait for the bus are now advised to bring an umbrella or waterproof jacket, with heavy showers and thundery showers predicted. According to BBC weather there is a risk of thundery showers at peak travel times of 9am and 5pm. Heavy rain is predicted by the Met office at various other times of the day."
