Forget a few Summer showers, the UK is about to be drenched in a genuine European monsoon.
Heavy showers are expected to sweep across the country for the rest of month, according to climate experts.
Although less impressive than monsoons on the Indian subcontinent it this little-known climatic pattern has been blamed for yesterday downpours and thunder storms that caused chaos around the country.
As traffic speeds across England slowed to a crawl, thousands were left stranded at Heathrow last night after 59 flights were cancelled due to the bad weather.
Passengers trying to fly back to the UK from central Europe were also grounded due to heavy rain in central Europe.
