The Met Office says the heavy downpours will swoop across Britain this weekend.
The forecast reads: “Heavy and perhaps thundery showers likely on Saturday and Sunday.
“Feeling warm in the sunshine. Organised rain arriving late Sunday.”
And the bad weather will continue into August.
It explains: “The end of July is likely to remain unsettled with showers, perhaps heavy and thundery, especially in the north, giving way to longer spells of rain.
“Often quite windy as well, especially for the time of year, with southern areas probably seeing the strongest winds.
“Temperatures are expected to remain below normal, and it is likely to feel especially cool in areas of more persistent rain or stronger winds.
“Early August is likely to be changeable, at times unsettled, with spells of sunshine, interspersed with showers or more prolonged periods of rain, again most prominent in western areas.

“Generally, a greater likelihood of strong winds than usual for early August, and it is expected to continue to feel fairly cool for most.”
However, it’s not all bad news - as sunshine is set to return towards the end of the month.
Forecasters predict: “There is a possibility, increasingly towards the second half of the month, of a greater incidence of short spells of more settled and warmer weather with lighter winds.”
