Any of you in the regions that will be getting this storm?
The blistering heat of the warmest day of the year so far is set to make way for heavy downpours, as storm clouds make their way across much of the UK.
Tuesday saw Britain swelter in temperatures which peaked at 33.5C (92.3F) in Brize Norton, making it hotter than Barcelona.
Despite being in the midst of a heatwave, the Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for severe thunderstorms, large hail and strong winds which could lead to flash flooding of homes, businesses and transport networks.
The warning has been issued across all regions other than south-west England, London and south-east England.
It states that hot, moist air spreading north and north-east is expected to produce thunder storms, with some places seeing around 30mm of rainfall in an hour, and more than 50mm in a few hours.
The warning says: ‘Whilst most places will miss the worst, please be aware of the risk of localised flash flooding.
‘Frequent lightning, large hail and strong winds could be additional hazards.
