The heatwave the UK has basked in for the past week is set to see a massive change.
The Met Office has said from Wednesday next week, parts of England and Wales are set to be hit by thunderstorms and a drop in temperatures.
The yellow weather warning which covers a large part of the UK, including Merseyside, could bring some "intense" storms and "torrential rain, hail, frequent lightning and strong gusty winds".

More concerning, the Met Office has warned there's a small chance some homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, causing damage to buildings.
The risk of flooding, lightening strikes, strong winds and even hail could cause delays and cancellations to bus and train services.
The Met Office has also warned that rainfall of around 30mm could fall in an hour, with some locations potentially receiving around 50 mm over two to three hours, although these will be fairly isolated.
The thunderstorms are expected to hit late on Wednesday and move northeast across parts of England and Wales through to Friday morning.
From Wednesday, temperatures in the region are set to drop a few degrees and will sit around the 16 degrees Celsius, which should mean a more comfortable night's sleep.
