Brits are set for several more days of scorching temperatures with highs of 25C but they will be mixed with heavy showers and strong winds by the end of the week.
For northern parts of the UK the outlook is for sunshine and showers but for the drier areas in the south that badly need the rain, it is unlikely to come until the weekend or even next week.
Weather maps from the BBC show over next few days there are large areas still without rain expected.
