The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain as the heatwave is set to end with thunderstorms this weekend.

It comes after the weather agency sent out its first-ever extreme heat warning on Monday (19 July) for the South West, West Midlands, and South Wales.

The yellow rain warning covers the entirety of southern England.

Temperatures will cool significantly in Falmouth to 22 degrees tomorrow (22 July), and Friday will be largely overcast with stronger winds.

Rain showers will start on Saturday, with thunder currently forecast for Sunday and Monday.
