Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Brits can expect even more thunder and heavy rain as 18 flood alerts and a Met Office yellow weather warning are still in place. It means heavy rain could cause flooding and travel disruption.

The rest of the country will see a more mixed picture of sunny spells and scattered showers, with the rain continuing until the evening. Some 18 flood alerts are in place following the downpour. Most are in Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham. Meteorologist Tom Morgan suggested that temperatures will remain high in places despite the adverse weather conditions. He said: 'Tuesday is not looking as unsettled. The showers won't be quite as widespread or indeed as heavy as they have been. 'Nonetheless, there will be some showers or longer spells of rain for Scotland in particular, the west, (and) northwestern parts of England as well. 5-Day forecast Today: Rain across western Scotland eases through the day. Elsewhere a mixture of sunny spells and scattered, possibly thundery showers, mainly in the east later. Feeling warm in any sunny spells but cooler where rain and showers persist. Tonight: Light rain and drizzle in the far north and northwest at first with showers easing elsewhere with the odd isolated one persisting. Clear spells developing overnight. Wednesday: Scattered showers in the west with patchy rain and drizzle elsewhere. Showers becoming widespread for Wales and central and southern England, again possibly thundery. Feeling warm in sunny spells. Thursday to Saturday: Turning much drier for many on Thursday away from the southeast. Patchy rain returns in the west on Friday, but brighter and warmer in the east. 'But many parts of England and Wales (will be) actually getting away with a fairly reasonable day with some dry periods. 'And if the sunshine does break through that cloud at times, well, we might see temperatures reach 24C or 25C.' It comes after four weather warnings were in place across the country yesterday. This means the stormy weather is a "danger to life". Heavy rainfall means flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures Homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, and some communities will be cut off by flooded roads. There may also be delays and some cancellations to train and bus services, along with power cuts. The forecaster added: "If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter(such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground." Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page, said: 'A band of very heavy rain will pivot over Northern Ireland during Sunday night, bringing totals of possibly 50-75 mm in just a short period of time. "This high intensity rainfall can lead to flooding, with impacts on properties, transport networks and power outages. 'The heavy rain comes at the start of a new working week so expect disruption to the Monday morning commute and check the flood risk in your area to protect your property.' 7 Members of the public are caught in heavy the rain in Easton, central London Credit: LNP 7 People using umbrellas whilst walking in the rain on Westminster Bridge, in London Credit: PA
