Weather warnings cover UK with Brits drenched - see exact time rain will stop

Roaringthunder and torrential downpours have been battering the British Isles for days but the end could be in sight, according to the Met Office.

Last week, the national forecaster issued severalweather warnings, covering huge swathes of the UK as it warned of a "danger to life " risk from flash flooding in some areas.

The threat of flooding remains strong today, with the East and West Midlands, North East England, North West England, Wales, and Yorkshire and Humber all under a yellow warning.

The agency predicted heavy and thundery rain which could cause localised surface water flooding through today, causing delays and cancellations to public transport, as well as interrupting power supplies and flooding of some homes and businesses.

Similar conditions will continue into tomorrow, but by Tuesday conditions will be dry as all warnings are removed from the map.

On its weather warnings page, the Met Office said: "Showery outbreaks of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery in places, will move northwestwards from late Sunday morning and through the afternoon before gradually easing during the evening.

"Accumulations of 10-20 mm are expected fairly widely, with a few places potentially receiving as much as 40 mm, much of this falling in just a few hours. This could lead to some surface water flooding."

The Met Office says people should consider preparing a flood plan and emergency flood kit if they fear their property could be at risk.

To avoid delays, you should check road conditions or bus and train timetables, and consider amending travel plans.

Andy Page, the Met Office Chief Meteorologist, warned "intense rainfall" could also produce "frequent lighting and hail" and building damage.

But the gloomy weather will not last long as weather maps show a return to the scorching conditions we've been experiencing over recent weeks.

Forecasters, from WX Charts, have predicted the exact day next week that some Brits will see temperatures rise to summer levels.

WX Charts has predicted weather fortunes could switch on July 24 as maps have started to turn red in southeastern England. Temperatures are set to peak at 25C near Oxford and London could get 24C weather on that day.

The good weather is set to keep rising the next day and weather maps turn darker on July 25. Temperatures are set to peak at 28C at 6pm on Friday.

Areas like London and Birmingham will see temperatures rise to 27C as the warm temperatures also reach the Midlands. The warmer weather will also creep up to Newcastle, where weather maps have turned orange and predicted temperatures around 22C for the city.
