After a scorching week it looks like the first weekend of the long school summer holidays (for most) is going to be a washout.
The Met Office is predicting potential disruption from heavy rain and thunderstorms, especially on Sunday (25th July).
They advise:
"Heavy rain and thundery showers may lead to flooding and transport disruption in some places over the weekend.
"What to expect
"There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded, causing damage to some buildings
"Where flooding occurs, there is a slight chance of delays or cancellations to train and bus services
"Spray and flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures
"There is a small chance that some communities will become cut off by flooded roads
"There is a slight chance of power cuts and loss of other services to some homes and businesses."
