— Met Office (@metoffice) July 20, 2025Tom Morgan, a Met Office meteorologist, said there would likely be “intense downpours and some surface water flooding on the roads” tomorrow as the yellow warnings are in place from 11am to 9pm across most of the country.
According to Morgan, the weather will remain “pretty unsettled” across the UK and he advised of a “very wet morning commute to work across parts of Northern Ireland and southern Scotland”.
He added: “[There’s] some particularly heavy rain here, and that band of rain stretches down into parts of Wales and southwest England as well, tending to become lighter perhaps by the afternoon.”
The Midlands, northeast England, and parts of East Anglia are amongst areas to be hit by the most intense thunderstorms, and Morgan warned of gusty winds and frequent lightening for those living in central parts of the UK.
Meteorologist Simon Partridge said that low pressure sat over the UK had led to warm and moist air which can trigger the thunderstorms.

With the thunderstorms, it’s quite hit and miss. Most people won’t see much in the way of rainfall but if you catch one, you’ll know about it. The general gist is that Tuesday is another showery day but not as heavy, and with much less thunder.”
The forecaster said conditions would remain warm and humid, and that there would be some sunny spells, with temperatures around the seasonal average.

Partridge said: “It won’t be cold. The temperature will be in the high teens, low twenties for northern parts of the UK and in southern parts, it will be low to mid-twenties. It’s pretty much where we would expect to be in July”.
He added: “This week, we’ll lose the mugginess, which is good news for those who have been struggling to sleep. It’s improve over the next couple of nights, and it will be drier over the next couple of days.”
The Environmental Agency removed 26 of their weather warnings yesterday, after fears of weekend flash flooding subsided.
Meteorologist Simon Partridge said: “We haven’t had anything too significant on the flooding part of things. The amber rainfall yesterday did see quite a bit of rainfall, but luckily not in too short a space of time. Charleswood, in Surrey, did see 48mm of rain, which is quite a bit. Most of their July rainfall fell in one day”.
