Forecasters have warned of more wet weather and thunderstorms before warmer weather makes an appearance.
The Met Office is predicting yet more torrential rain for a number of regions as the damp start to July continues today.
The worst affected areas are expected to be in the south and east with Scotland seeing heavy showers in most places.

And the rainfall will continue into Friday which is expected to see scattered, heavy showers developing all across the country.
However, the weather is set to become more pleasant as we head further into July.
The Met Office long range forecasts for next week say that there is still uncertainty as to how much conditions will improve next week, Mirror reports.
The office said: "From mid-next week onwards, conditions could gradually become more settled with a good deal of dry weather, variable cloud and spells of sunshine, though this is still uncertain.
"For the remainder of this period, there is a greater chance of warmer and drier than average conditions overall.
"The occasional spell of rain and unsettled weather are still possible, particularly over northwestern areas. However, most of the UK could see fine and dry conditions with light showers at times.
"Temperatures are likely to be around average in the northwest and above average elsewhere, whilst south and southeastern areas could see conditions feeling very warm."
Here is the forecast for the North East:
Thursday
Any overnight mist and fog patches short-lived.
Dry with sunny spells through the morning. Isolated afternoon showers developing, but not as heavy or widespread as Wednesday, with many parts staying dry.
Feeling pleasantly warm, with light winds. Maximum temperature 21°C.
Thursday evening
Mostly dry overnight with some clear spells. Some patchy low cloud may affect North Sea coasts, and perhaps across some hills. Winds staying light. Minimum temperature 13°C.
Friday
Some patchy low cloud may linger near the coast. Otherwise, sunny spells with scattered showers developing in the afternoon. The showers should then die out again in the evening. Maximum temperature 21°C.
Outlook for Saturday to Monday
Remaining unsettled, with a mixture of sunny spells and heavy, thundery showers throughout. Low cloud perhaps lingering along North Sea coastal areas, especially on Saturday. Temperatures mostly near normal.
