Last night brought an end to the heatwave, with heavy rain and thunderstorms lashing the UK. The yellow weather warning has been extended by the Met Office, and it seems like the heat is set to return soon.
Today, the rain will move from the south of England to the North East, with some possible thundery bursts. Tuesday will be warm and humid, with sunshine and showers, some of which may be heavy or thundery. Northern Ireland was issued with a yellow thunderstorm warning, expecting 15 to 20mm of rain in less than an hour.
Stephen Dixon from the Met Office warned that there will be heavy rain overnight, and southern and western parts of England could receive up to 30mm of rain, making driving conditions unpleasant.
The heatwave has put a strain on some water supplies, resulting in a hosepipe ban for up to 2 million people and the NHS warning that it could be their busiest day ever. The remaining showers will clear through the evening, leaving a mostly dry night.
On Thursday, the temperatures will start to rise again, with some showers during the day. A total of six flood alerts have been issued in the last 24 hours, meaning flooding is possible. There are also fears that the final day of the Ashes test in Birmingham could be a washout, with rain predicted to spoil the day.
