crimson tint as it falls, the phenomena occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A yellow thunderstorm warning has been issued for the south-east, including London, from Wednesday evening until early Thursday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;There are some dust concentrations in the sky above the UK at the moment that might easily be washed out in the rain tonight,&#8221; Met Office meteorologist Richard Miles said, &#8220;but it&#8217;s likely to be quite modest amounts on the whole.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A thunderstorm warning has been issued for the south-eastern third of England tonight, and a squally cold front is expected to bring wind and possibly heavy rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Aside from these features, today and tomorrow will be generally fine and dry, with temperatures reaching 23-24C in London and the South East, and high teens to low 20s elsewhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes as Britain&#8217;s incredible weather continues, with temperatures reaching 24 degrees today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far, with the temperature in Heathrow peaking at 27.5\u00b0C in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It means the weather was nicer here than in Santorini, where the temperature only reached 26 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, for many, the heat was followed by grey skies and nocturnal downpours, and there will be plenty more rain this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 7 p.m. today and 3 a.m. tomorrow, the Met Office has issued a yellow alert for storms across large parts of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flash floods, power outages, and lightning strikes have been predicted between Skegness, Lincolnshire, and Wareham, Dorset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those travelling tonight are advised to use extreme caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After overnight rain and thunderstorms, Wednesday morning has a lot of dry weather with showers clearing northern Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;More rain is expected to move eastward on Wednesday, with some heavy thundery downpours in certain areas that could turn into severe thunderstorms overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;On Thursday, we&#8217;ll be in between weather systems once more.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He expects &#8220;a
