Thunderstorm and rain warnings have been issued across the UK, with hopes of an Indian summer this September beginning to fade.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for thunderstorms from 11am to 8pm today, covering swathes of England and Wales.
Another yellow warning for heavy rain covering south-west England and much of South Wales has come into force until 2pm today, and a separate warning is in place until 9pm in parts of western Scotland.
The forecaster warned that heavy rain could cause “travel disruption and flooding in places”.
Monday marked a sharp end to the meteorological summer in the UK, with cooling temperatures and windy, rainy weather forecast for the rest of the month.
It comes after the warmest summer on record, with the UK’s mean temperature from 1 June to 31 August standing at 16.10°C, which is 1.51°C above the long-term meteorological average.
This topped the previous record of 15.76°C, set in 2018, and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top five warmest summers in a series dating back to 1884.

Rebekah Hicks, chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “We’re expecting a band of heavy rain and strong winds to move north-east through the first part of Wednesday, followed by heavy showers and the risk of thunderstorms. Some of these could bring hail and gusty winds, particularly in southern areas.
“Of course, the warning coincides with the first school run after the summer holidays for some, meaning a wet and potentially disruptive start to the day for many.”
Heavy rain and strong winds will move north-east from early on Wednesday, followed by heavy showers and some thunderstorms.
Conditions will gradually improve from the South West through Wednesday afternoon as showers become more isolated.
Rainfall totals will be 20-30mm across much of the area covered by the weather warning on Wednesday, but some places could see 40-60mm within a period of six to nine hours.
