Rain, rain go away

As we settle down for another hot day with just a few puffy clouds to cool us down, parts of Britain face a downpour.

The average rainfall in the UK in July is 70mm, (2.76in). However, forecasters are predicting that some areas will be soaked by a 75mm (2.95in) deluge in just one day.

High ground in the South West and Wales will be the worst hit. Vulnerable parts of the country will be on flood alert.

So it is set to be a typical British summer - the odd day of sunshine punctuated by spells of heavy rain.
