UK weather: Warnings over flooding as torrential rain forecast

Heavy rain is unlikely to ease the drought because rainwater struggles to permeate dry ground, meaning it will run off the dehydrated surface and lead to flash flooding in some areas.

BBC Weather's Carol Kirkwood said it will be "hit and miss" where they strike, with some areas seeing no storms but others experiencing torrential downpours that could lead to flooding and disruption.The heaviest of the rain on Tuesday morning will be in eastern and southern Scotland. A yellow weather warning is in place in Scotland until 10:00 BST, when the heavy rain will begin to move away, said Ms Kirkwood.

On Wednesday, the yellow warning will remain for southern England but the storms will have moved away by Thursday.Compared to the last few days, temperatures will be lower on Tuesday, according to Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst. But it will remain humid, with maximum temperatures of about 27C.

Yesssssss. Nice little bit of rain for my Grass.
