The long-awaited heatwave of the summer is set to be cut short today as forecasters have predicted torrential rain to pour down.
Despite weeks of glorious sunshine and record high temperatures, yellow weather warnings of heavy showers have now been issued.
However, there will still be highs of 20C and the rain should hopefully clear up by the weekend.
