Met Office map shows huge 'wall of rain' to sweep country and end heatwave next week

A huge wall of rain will sweep in and hit the UK on Monday (June 26), bringing the current heatwave to an end. Brits have been basking in the hot temperatures and sunshine for weeks, despite some thunderstorms and rainy spells.

Meanwhile today's weather (Sunday June 25) could beat the current record for the hottest day of the year. That was set at 32.2C on June 10 in Chertsey, Surrey. However there is also a yellow thunderstorm warning in place today, reports BirminghamLive.

Parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland, North West England and the Midlands are at risk of thunderstorms this evening, with the warning in place from 1pm until 9pm. It could result in localised flooding, with up to 40mm of rainfall in just two hours, forecasters have said.
