A plume of warm, humid air arriving from the south will affect UK weather later this week, leading to potential thunderstorms and heavy rain. The rain is expected to ease on Tuesday, giving way to sunshine, but by Wednesday evening, intense downpours could occur in some regions, possibly accumulating 20-40mm over a short period. Met Office's Mike Silverstone notes this weather is different from May's mildness, predicting warmer overnight temperatures that may disrupt sleep and increased humidity making it feel uncomfortable.
These thunderstorms are being triggered by some warm, humid air that is moving into the UK from the south. The intense rainfall could see 20-40mm accumulating over just a few hours, which could cause some disruption.
This warm spell will feel different to the fine weather we experienced in May as the humidity will be much higher, making it feel more uncomfortable.
