BRITS face yet ANOTHER scorching day with temperatures to hit 30C once more – after thunderstorms swept across the country yesterday.
Recent high temperatures have made roads “melt like chocolate” with councils around the country carrying out emergency repairs to surfaces damaged in the heat.
Massive hailstones swept across parts of the country on Tuesday night but have failed to make a dent in the scorching summer heat.
The mercury will soar back up to 30C today – with the possibility of reaching highs of 33C by Friday.
The ice cream aisles in supermarkets across the country have been ransacked and left empty by Brits desperate to cool down in the heat.
But the glorious weather took a turn in the East of England as heavy rain and hail fell and flooded several roads in “apocalyptic” scenes – as scattered storms look set to return today.
The barmy weather sent hail the “size of golf balls” crashing down during a thunderstorm in Leciester – seeing car windows smashed and vehicles dented “minutes” after locals were basking in the sunshine.
The Met Office have now issued a yellow warning for rain from Saturday across much of England and Wales as the weather flips on its head over the weekend.
Today, the Met said southern and western England will be hit with another 30C scorcher, as things cool down a little in the East.
An amber extreme heat warning remains in place for central and southern England, Wales and Northern Ireland as bookies have slashed odds to just 10/11 on this month being the hottest July on record.
GIANT HAILSTONES
It comes after Britain baked on the hottest day of the year as temperatures soared to 32C on Monday – before thunderstorms battered the country, and even ruined cars.
The Met Office yesterday issued four weather warnings for storms as well as extreme heat alerts while temperatures rocketed to 32.2C at Heathrow Airport.
They have now issued a yellow rain warning for the weekend and said to expect heavy rain and thundery showers after a week of sunshine.
The warning is in place across the majority of England and Wales as residents were cautioned about the possibility of flooding and travel disruption.
In Kibworth, Leicester, large hailstones caused damage to outdoor furniture and even smashed the windscreens of cars as stormy weather hit the area.
Dad-of-two Kevin Messenger, 39, had his VW Polo windscreen smashed by the unbelievable hail and believes the cost of damage in the area will be “running into the hundreds if not thousands of pounds.”
He said, “The hails stones were huge, I’ve never seen anything like it. The only thing I can compare it to was monsoon season when I went to Thailand.
“The hail was that severe it smashed the back windscreen of my car, I know other people in the village who had their car windows smashed too.”
Care homes and sheltered housing were evacuated after the hail smashed glass and corridors flooded as a month’s worth of rain fell in 30 minutes.
Twitter users posted images and videos of ruined pipes and damaged cars, as well as hailstones the size of large marbles.
There were also reports of intense rain and hail in Essex and Kent, amid a flash storm in the area.
Giant hailstones were spotted in Essex on Monday afternoon as storms hit with residents reporting the hail as “the size of marbles.”

Attacks designed at social upheaval (attacks from within), CV-19 (and its many variants) and ..possible weather modification (hidden, inside the global warming debate).
Yes, this isn't WW3 at all ..Carry on
Oh, and make sure to never read the legal papers drawn up about banning weather modification as a weapon (years ago now). Perish the thought you might actually read what 'might' be able to be done to the weather (CCP, Russia, US and others have this tech).
Stay safe ..in a 'lockdown' that will never truly end.
Hose pipe ban on its way
The song βFour seasons in one dayβ comes to mind.
And
Why is this a surprise? Global warming increases the impact of weather events. Weβve known about this for decades
And
Another opportunity to push man-made climate change – can't miss that, can we?
This is just the start of global warming we nee to fix up
Weather manipulation, it's called "cloud seeding" .
What area is it happening the sun has been shining for the past week
Weather manipulation using Haarp weather technology.
Lord help us to know the truth of your love and salvation in this perverse and compromied world. Break through the hardness of heart that keeps many bound in darkness. Jesus let your light shine through and bring many more to know you before it's too late. π
weird, im in the south east. Its 18c here. The grass is yellow and dying from the drought. No hail here. Been up all night as i work night shift and getting in the sleep pattern for my shift later.
The weathers been doing this since forever. The media are making 'news' out of it to pump up yet more fear and get us ready for 'climate lockdowns' which will be upon us very soon.
Mr William Fence is having so much fun right now.
This happened because of not doing COVID-19 vaccine , Boris will say.
This is global issues, God is angry
He is stopping trade as it forbidden in gods house.
He is stopping you in your tracks
Start praying and repentingπ
Nice to watch a weather video without hearing some hysterical drama queen say 'Global Warming'.
I want rain and cold weather canβt be dealing with all this heat
Climate bs after covid bs , keep the plebs skint and down trodden
HAARP DOING OVERTIME, THIS WEEK.
What county?
Extreme weather π€£
Iβm 52 and itβs still normal British weather to me.
Huh? I'm in the South East and didn't see any of this.

Google / weather modification history.
The elite have been manipulating the weather since 1892.
Gotta love our weather lol x
Sounds like Clap for Carers lol
yeah, this is for cooling down after a heatwave. Nature has a great sense of humor.
Bring some of that up to Manchester please! Iβm melting! π₯΅
This reminds me of that movie Day After Tomorrow. Lol It has started!!!
got 10,000 thousand dollars from Netmaskweb, they are really good at it
Hailstone of that size comes from supercells
What do you think also comes from supercells?
Answer ->
Tornadoes!π£
But still no such thing as climate change
Imagine being outside and gettin hit by those… Damn
When hailstones fall I always suffer a dilemma. Is it time for a whisky or should I go for a Gin & Tonic?
HAARP
All this because people kept going out after the pandemic and not social distancing. Then people won't say this isn't weather controlling..
The weather world wide is going crazy
An event of global scale will happen July 24, 2021 at 15:00GMT – the international online conference "Global Crisis. This Already Affects Everyone". We have the right to know the truth! We have a chance, uniting our efforts, to overcome the collapse of humankind together and enter the era of prosperity by building the Creative Society! On Allatra TV International Youtube Channel.
Terrible!
Iβm down south east, havenβt seen any of this little rain thatβs about it, so over the top π

Been lucky up in the North East so far. Just had a bit of cloud and thats it
ur here because itβs happening now
π€£
The title and clickpic for this are a bit much considering its just normal hail. Fail.
