UK weather: 'Fresher' conditions for much of country after hottest day of year so far
Much of the UK had cooler temperatures on Sunday with "fresher" conditions - apart from the South East - after thunderstorms swept through parts of the country overnight. A yellow thunderstorm warning issued by the Met Office lasted until 3am for areas including northern England and southeast Scotland. Some parts had up to 25mm of rainfall in one hour, the weather agency said. Berwick-upon-Tweed in Northumberland saw 31.1mm overnight and was among the locations that saw the wettest conditions. See the weather forecast in your area It comes after the UK had the hottest day of the year so far, with 33.2C (91.7F) recorded in Charlwood, Surrey, on Saturday. Scores of rail passengers were evacuated after some services were halted following a fault on a train. Some parts of the country have experienced a heatwave over the past few days but temperatures are now closer to average for the time of year. However, Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna said temperatures could hit 27C or 28C in the South East on England on Sunday. He added: "Elsewhere, there's a fresher feel, quite breezy as well, so most places, high teens, low 20s for temperatures, and it stays quite showery tonight. "Even the South East could get a few showers coming in from the west, so a mixture really of clear spells and showers tonight. "It could turn a bit chilly in Scotland, down to 3 or 4 degrees in some rural spots, but for most places, temperatures, certainly towns and cities, generally holding up in double figures, but a fresher feel compared to what we've had recent nights." What's the forecast for Monday? The South East will see the most sunshine and highs of up to 25C on Monday, Mr Petagna said. In the other regions, temperatures will be around the high teens and low 20s, which is "near-average" for the time of year, he added. Conditions look "changeable" into next week, with "most areas" having rain at times, the forecaster said. "It does become very warm again in the South East around the middle of the week, so we could see high 20s again around Tuesday, Wednesday in the South East. "But at the same time as that heat builds again briefly in the south and South East, we could see further thundery downpours for a time as well," he said. What is a heatwave? An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days, with thresholds varying from 25C to 28C in different parts of the UK.

Louisville under heat advisory for multiple days. What to know from the National Weather Service
The National Weather Service in Louisville issued a heat advisory June 22 for counties in Kentucky and southern Indiana, as heat index values are expected to top 100 degrees for several days. The advisory is in effect until June 24 at 8 p.m. For Louisville, meteorologists with the weather service estimate heat indices, which factor in the humidity, will be as high as 104 degrees June 22 and 24. The city may not see a day without a heat index value above 100 until after June 27. "The combination of temperatures in the low to mid 90s and dew points in the mid 70s will result in heat index values between 100-105 over the next several days," NWS Louisville officials stated in a Facebook post. "During this time, stay hydrate(d) and avoid being outside for long periods of time and take frequent breaks. Always remember to double check your vehicle for children and pets." In a statement issued June 22, meteorologists with the National Weather Service's central office reported a "dangerous heat wave" is active over the Midwest. Residents in densely populated urban areas are considered to be the most vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. "Light winds, sunny skies, and a lack of overnight cooling will pose a significant risk to those without adequate cooling and/or hydration," NWS officials stated. Louisville may not see a high temperature below 90 degrees for several days, according to a National Weather Service forecast issued June 22. Low temperatures are expected to be around 75 degrees or higher each day through June 27. After sunny and hot conditions impact Louisville on June 22, here's a closer look at the forecast over the next three days: Monday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Heat index values as high as 103. Light southwest wind. Monday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 76. Light southwest wind. Tuesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Calm wind. Tuesday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 75. Wednesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Wednesday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 76.
