- The Met Office issued a yellow thunderstorm warning for parts of England and Wales, predicting potential disruptions and flooding.
- Scattered storms are expected across Wales, the West Country, the Midlands, and London, with some areas potentially receiving over half a month's worth of rain.
- Heavy downpours could bring 20-30mm of rain in an hour and 40-50mm in one to two hours, increasing the risk of flooding and localised power cuts.
- While Northern Ireland, northwest England, and southern Scotland might experience showers, the impact is not expected to be as severe as in the warning zone.
- The weather is predicted to stabilise from Tuesday, with temperatures reaching the low to mid-20s, potentially marking the hottest days of the year so far for Northern Ireland and Scotland. This follows a hot and sunny weekend across much of the UK, and a tragic incident where a swimmer went missing in Loch Ard.
