A series of weather warnings have been issued with the UK set to be battered by heavy rain and thunderstorms over the coming days.
The remnants of Hurricane Humberto began moving over the country on Saturday night, putting an end to days of sunshine and warm temperatures.
The Met Office has issued warnings for rain on Sunday and Tuesday, with the risk of downpours and thunderstorms across swathes of Britain.
On Sunday up to 70mm of rain could fall in some places, with a warning in place into the evening for all of eastern England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Met Office meteorologist Becky Mitchell told the Standard: “Starting with today there will be spells of rain across much of the country.
“A yellow rain warning is in place across a large part of the country until 7pm with a risk of localised flooding.
“The situation is fairly unsettled next week with heavy showers. There is a similar forecast across the whole country.
“Monday starts off dry with sunny spells but later in the afternoon it will cloud over with a band of heavy rain moving in.”
On Tuesday, a weather warning is in place across southern England.
“It is a day of sun and showers, temperatures could reach 20C, but there is a risk of thunderstorms as well," Ms Mitchell said.
“There is another yellow warning out for part of Wales, south east England and across to south west England, including London.
“It will be a wet day with a risk of localised flooding.”
