A more dangerous time is approaching, the Met Office has warned (Image: Reuters)
Heavy storms and showers are on the way tomorrow, with the Meteorological Office issuing an amber weather warning.
It will be just after three days of rare red weather alerts from the heat in much of Britain caused by a huge plume of hot air sweeping from southern Europe.
It looks like the UK has already reached its hottest temperature of all time and it is even hotter all day long.
As the British are suffocating with a heat of almost 40 ° C, storms can be seen as a welcome relief, but they are not without dangers.
Tomorrow’s warning runs from 1pm to 9pm and covers much of the south-east, the western country, the east of England and the Midlands.
Meteorologists have said there is a possibility that trains and bus services may be canceled or delayed, so be sure to check travel times before leaving.

The Met office adds: “Sudden showers and floods could lead to difficult driving conditions and some roadblocks.
“There is a slight possibility that power outages will occur and other services may be lost to some homes and businesses.”
A Met Office spokesman said: “Heavy showers and storms are expected in central, southern and eastern England on Wednesday afternoon.
“While most places will only see small amounts of rain, there is a possibility that there will be some isolated showers and lightning.
“When they occur, some places could see 20-30 mm in an hour and 50 mm in 3 hours.”
