A warning for heavy rain and thunderstorms has been issued – just in time for the weekend.
With Dundee, Tayside and the rest of Scotland basking in a mini heatwave for the best part of the week, the sunny weather looks set to come to an abrupt end.
The Met Office has issued a yellow ‘be alert’ warning from 1pm tomorrow until 11pm.
The warning has been put in place to cover the majority of Scotland and northern England. Forecasters warn we could see”heavy, thundery showers” and there is also a risk of hail and “frequent lightning”.
The Met Office’s chief forecaster said: “Skies will brighten following a band of showery rain, though rising temperatures will cause heavy showers to develop.
“Whilst many will miss the worst, some places could see 20-30 mm in an hour or less. The risk of this looks slightly higher across Scotland than across England or Northern Ireland.”
Tayside and Fife enjoyed temperatures of around 22C yesterday with the sunny weather set to continue today.
Aboyne in Aberdeenshire recorded the highest temperature in the whole of the UK on Thursday peaking at 27C.
