The tranquil aftermath of a scorching weekend has swiftly given way to a deluge, with the Met Office issuing severe weather warnings for heavy downpours set to drench parts of the UK today.
Anticipating the onslaught, forecasters have pinpointed regions in the south-west of England, south Wales, and Northern Ireland as those most likely to bear the brunt of the rainstorms. Yellow weather warnings have been firmly in place, extending their cautionary gaze until the late hours of tomorrow night.
