Thunderstorms are expected to hit the UK on Saturday and potentially disrupt Wimbledon, the Met Office has reported.
Earlier this week the Met issued a yellow heat-health alert and predicted temperatures of between 37-30C across large parts of the country over the weekend.
However, thundery downpours are expected to batter the country on Saturday evening, prompting the organisation to issue a yellow warning and urge people to be wary of sudden downpours.
The forecast suggests frequent lightning, hail and strong gusts could accompany the storms, and have warned that homes and businesses could be at risk from flooding.
The Met Office forecasts temperatures will be highest in the South East and East Anglia, peaking at around 5pm on Saturday.
Spells of rain are expected next week across parts of the UK and dampening play at Wimbledon.
