Brits hit parks and beaches this weekend as the glorious September heatwave baked much of the country.
However, there were one or two thundery outbreaks as well and that looks to be a sign of things to come as more thunderstorms, heavy rain and even floods are on the horizon.
Jim Dale, Senior Meteorological Consultant at British Weather Services, told the Daily Star rain is coming back "big style" towards the end of this coming week and into the next.

This, he explained, is due to extratropical cyclones in the Atlantic having a knock-on effect on weather here.
Mr Dale said: "Do expect to see bouts of heavy rain and showers that could cause localised flooding.
"The Atlantic is going to roar back in. It is still a relatively warm Atlantic, full of cyclones. Later next week and the following week some of these extratropical storms will provide the ingredients – so it will be both wet and windy.
"There is a real sea change coming up, so it is a case of making the most of what you’ve got now.
"I think we are going to swap what we have got now for a volatile mixture. It will unravel in time, we will start to go into a different mode of weather."
Netweather's forecast for the week after next (Monday, September 18 to Sunday, September 24) states "showers and thunderstorms" could occur "especially towards the south-east".
Similarly, Exacta Weather forecaster James Madden said: "A thundery breakdown is likely during next week as the jet stream begins to veer southwards once again."
