It's sunny! It's sunny! It's... not going to last
Us Brits are obsessed with our weather, and as the UK baked at the start of the week with uncharacteristically hot weather and bright sun thanks to the influx of wam air from Spain's beaches, talk inevitably turned to how long it'll last.
Sadly, not long.
Forecasters warned that thunder and rain showers will bring the sunny spell to a halt, with the earliest storms reaching the UK on Monday evening.
The south west already saw rain on Monday, with thunderstorms in south east England and East Anglia overnight.
With temperatures hitting 31C in central London, many have been basking in the sun over the weekend and at the start of the week. Though prolonged sunny spells are still expected this week, they'll be interupted by occassional showers.
According to Sky's weather presenter Isobel Lang:
"High pressure will build in from the southwest across Britain and Ireland during the remainder of the week with temperatures returning to normal.
"Southeast and East Anglia will be last to freshen up but will feel more comfortable from Tuesday night onwards as the humid air eases away.
"The fine weather is set to last into the weekend for eastern parts but the west will probably turn wet, and there's a more unsettled trend for all into the following week."
So to salute the hot weather on it's way out, here's the finest hot weather-related YouTube video of all time. Pause... and laugh.
