The BBC also adds that Wednesday 'will be breezier with further showers or spells of rain soon pushing into all areas. The showers could be heavy and thundery in places in the afternoon'.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “The UK is predominantly under the influence of low-pressure, which is continuing a showery regime, with some potentially heavy and thundery showers possible at times through the week.
“While not everywhere in the UK will experience the heaviest downpours, it will remain an unsettled and relatively cool period, in stark contrast to the heat we experienced in June.”
