The dip in temperatures will be a welcome change for those who have struggled in the heat this weekend. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland recorded their hottest day of the year so far on Saturday.

This comes after a hosepipe ban came into effect on Friday in much of Yorkshire, parts of North Lincolnshire and Derbyshire, affecting more than five million people. The head of Yorkshire Water told BBC 5 Live the ban is expected to last until winter as "that is when reservoirs will have recharged".

The UK is currently in its third heatwave of 2025 with the heatwave expected to end in just a few days time as new weather maps show the UK is set for much milder temperatures

Parts of the UK are braced for a barrage of rain within hours. The latest weather maps from WX Charts show a deluge of rainfall arriving tomorrow morning (Monday, July 14) with downpours expected throughout the day.

The mercury surpassed 30C in many parts of the country. The Met Office said Aviemore hit 32.2C, adding that Scotland last exceeded 30C on June 13 2023, and that Saturday is only the seventh time since at least 1961 that the same high has been recorded in the country.

A third official heat wave is expected to descend this weekend, with record-breaking temperatures possible in Scotland.

There are more than 200 local authority areas in the country where heatwave conditions have started today, as scorching temperatures return.
