Brits set to be battered with heavy thunderstorms in muggy week of weather ahead

2023-07-08

The UK is set to be battered by a series of horrifically heavy thunderstorms while the warm weather remains – making it a muggy nightmare for all.

For the last few weeks, Brits have been battling between chilly nights, warm days, muggy wetness and general all-round unpleasant weather.

And it shows no signs of slowing down, according to new weather charts from the Met Desk's WX Charts.

New data shows that from midday on Monday, the north of England as well as most of Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland will be battling heavy rainfall, while the rest of the country will face a deluge of around five millimetres of the wet stuff from 3am the next morning.

And just a few hours later, the entire country will be hit by around one millimetre of rain at the same time, with parts of the north west hit by as much as three millimetres over the course of several hours from midday.

Temperatures are expected to be anywhere between 19C and 22C depending on where you live, with parts of London getting the muggiest of the weather.

A spokesman for the Met Office – which is different to the experts at the Met Desk – said the weather will be “remaining unsettled with a risk of heavy showers and perhaps the odd rumble of thunder”.

And expert Ian Simpson, from NetWeather TV said: “After a dry and sunny start to the day on Monday, an area of cloud and rain will spread from the Southwest during the day, followed by brighter weather with showers, some of which may again be thundery in places.

“Sunshine and showers will be the dominant theme through Tuesday and Wednesday, though with fewer showers on Wednesday when many places will stay dry.

“The changeable theme will continue for the foreseeable future, with temperatures staying average despite the mainly westerly winds.”

A yellow alert for heat has already been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) in London, Yorkshire, the West Midlands, the East Midlands as well as the east and south-east of England, for today (July 8) and tomorrow (July 9).

The UK Health Security Agency's Dr Agostinho Sousa said: "The forecasted high temperatures are expected to be short lived, but could primarily impact those over the age of 65 or those with pre-existing health conditions.

“If you have friends, family or neighbours who are more vulnerable, it is important to check in on them and ensure they are aware of the forecasts and are following the necessary advice.”
