Thunderstorms set to batter the UK - this is where

Despite it being June, the UK is expected to endure even more rainfall with 10 days of rain expected to fall in just three hours.

Ventusky weather maps forecast a thunderstorm is about a week away, indicating megastorm conditions across Brighton, Southend-on-Sea and Ipswich.

Kent can also expect rainfall. The Met Office also warns about the potential for some "heavy, thundery rain" to disrupt usual climatic patterns when we typically see highs of approximately 21C. It also predicts that next month may bring with it scattered rain spells.

This means that the southern county could experience nearly a third of its typical monthly rain level within three hours, courtesy of an enormous European storm.

Across the north west for this week will bring more light rain and showers, turning more settled in the week.
