Scotland was hammered by thunder and lightning on Monday morning after a weather warning was issued for the vast majority of the country.
The Met Office has issued a stark warning to Scots urging them to "prepare a flood plan" after heavy rain battered the country.
A fleeting heatwave in the south and east is being ousted by a westerly airflow for the UK, ushering in showers and some longer spells of rain for some over the next few days, along with a return to more typical temperatures for this time of year. These comments come as the Met Office encouraged people to "charge mobile phone devices." The weather experts said: "Check the flood advice in your area to know when and where flooding will happen. Charge mobile phone devices."
Brits basked in the hottest day for two years on Monday, as temperatures soared to a scorching 34.8C in Cambridge, Met Office reports confirm. However, a twist in the Atlantic jet stream is about to turn up the dial on milder and wetter weather, signalling a "changeable" forecast ahead.
