TEMPERATURES will plummet by 10C from Monday as Britain’s spell of scorching weather ends – with forecasters warning an inch of rain could fall in just an hour.
Britain faces a cool-down and rain for all this week as the Met Office forecast Wimbledon showers on Monday and Tuesday – but blistering barbecue weather does look set to return.
The Met Office long range forecast is for hot weather to return within a week or so and stick with us well into August.
And until the searing heat returns experts believe it will not be a complete washout, with some areas enjoying pleasantly warm temperatures.
It will however, be something of a mixed bag.
A Met Office forecaster said: “The weather will be cooler and more changeable than of late, with all areas having showers or longer spells of rain. But the South-East could be warm at times.”
The Met Office has warned that more than 5cm of rain is expected in Kent and the South East tomorrow.
There's also a chance heavy showers could turn stormy with warnings of lightning issued.
