People across the UK sweltering in soaring temperatures can look forward to a "wall of rain” from next week, as the heatwave is expected to come to an end. Temperatures today (Sunday) have hit record levels for the year so far, with the hottest temperature of 29C felt in Wisley in Surrey.
While Sunday's temperatures reached unbearable levels in parts of the country, Monday's are likely to move closer to the average for this time of year, with a “much fresher feel" expected through the first half of the week.
The deluge will arrive in Ireland and Northern Ireland on Monday evening before moving over parts of Wales, Scotland and northern England on Tuesday morning. A Met Office map shows the rain sweeping across the country, the Mirror reports.
