BRITAIN roasted in scorching temperatures on the weekend – but the glorious weather won’t last long with MORE storms set for this week.

Brits enjoyed deliciously warm climes over the last few days, with highs of 24C recorded in London and the south-east on Sunday.

But the early summer conditions might take a turn as rain is forecast to hit Sunday night.

The Met Office predicts downpours will hit around 3am on Monday morning and that much of Britain will experience rainy weather by the middle of next week.

And the miserable spells will be interrupted by bouts of thunder as wind speeds increase.

A Met Office spokesman said: “Unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain for most, some heavy with a risk of thunder.

“Windy on Wednesday and Thursday with further rain or showers. Temperatures near average.”

Heavy rains could damage your lawn, here is how to fix it

The coming heavy rain the UK has been experiencing combined with the hot dry weather could spell disaster for some gardens. However, all is not lost…

Spring was unusually dry and cold recently. It seemed to have hit late this year with a wet May.

Following heavy rain do not mow your grass once the rain has stopped. Add some fertiliser and leave it be for a couple of days.

Keep an eye out for mushroom growth, if there are any, pull them out.

Mow the grass once it is dry, but be careful to not cut it too short. The longer blades protect the ground from drying up.
