AFTER THE HEAT COMETH THE RAIN

It would seem that the warm spell is over (For Now) as the Met Office has issued a warning for heavy rain which they expect to move Northwards from 9am on Saturday until 3pm on Sunday.

Temperatures will see highs of 17c and lows of 14c with winds from the North West of 11 km/h and gusts of 18 km/h. It will be noticeably cloudier and cooler which will come as a welcome relief to most.

Thunderstorms could accompany the rain and some areas could see flash flooding and travel disruption on road and rail networks, although the chance is said to be relatively small.

Drivers should expect difficult driving conditions and are asked to be aware of spray and road flooding.

Hilly areas are most likely to be affected by the rain.

A Met Office spokesman said:

"An area of rain is expected to move slowly and erratically northwestwards across parts of the UK on Saturday and Sunday, and while some places within the warning area may see very little others could see several hours of heavy rain.

"Accumulations of 40-60mm are possible, with perhaps as much as 80-100mm in places, especially over high ground."

The good news is that the hot weather is set to return once more by Monday, it won't be quite as hot as the week we have had but use sun cream and remember to not take pets for walkies during the peak heat hours.
