Widespread Flash Flooding Threatens Southern Utah, New Mexico, Florida, UK

Several regions across the United States are experiencing increased risks of flooding due to ongoing and forecasted rainstorms. In Florida, scattered showers and afternoon storms are expected through Independence Day, with flooding posing the main threat in already saturated areas as a low-pressure system moves through. Southern Utah's national parks, including Zion and Capitol Reef, face flash flooding dangers, particularly in slot canyons, prompting warnings for hikers to stay cautious and check weather updates. New Mexico is also under threat from flash flooding, fueled by tropical moisture and monsoonal thunderstorms, especially in southern and mountainous regions, with burn-scar flooding a particular concern. Meanwhile, parts of south-east Scotland and north-east England are bracing for heavy showers and thunderstorms, which may cause localized flooding but with temperatures cooler than recent highs. Across these diverse areas, authorities emphasize vigilance and preparedness as wet conditions persist into the holiday weekend.
