At this time of year and throughout the summer there is an increased risk of lightning in the UK. I usually check the risk using the lightning map.
Although the chances of a direct strike are (thankfully) low I usually disconnect antennas, PSUs, PC etc until the danger has passed. Even surges in the mains supply or antenna lead when a storm is near can cause damage.
If the storm is within 20 miles I usually disconnect.
