The UK's week-long heatwave is expected to be broken by thunderstorms in the coming days, according to the Met Office. A yellow thunderstorm warning has been issued across parts of Northern Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland until Monday morning. Heavy rain up to 50mm is forecast which could lead to flash flooding and transport disruptions. While Sunday was the seventh consecutive day over 30C, temperatures are predicted to drop from Monday onwards. However some southeastern areas could still reach near 30C. By midweek, cooler weather is expected across the UK, with more rain on Thursday and Friday likely ending the hot spell. The heatwave lasting over seven days in September was unprecedented, the Met Office said.
