Put your sunglasses away everyone, because the weather is about to get really terrible.

Despite last month being the warmest May on record, June is looking a bit chillier – and a lot wetter.

The vast majority of the country woke up to torrential showers this morning, particularly in the north, Cornwall, Wales, and most of Scotland.

And the weather only gets worse as the day goes on – with the Met Office putting out ‘yellow’ weather warnings for rain.

Met Office forecaster Grahame Madge confirmed to Metro.co.uk that from today, the weather would be ‘very unsettled’.

‘Today and early tomorrow we have a yellow warning out for rain, which extends from South Wales all the way up to the north west of England,’ he said.

‘Many parts of the country will see 40mm to 60mm of rain, but it’s even possible that there could be 80mm of rain in high ground areas like the Welsh mountains and Lake District.’

Grahame added that, on top of the warnings, a weather system would be moving across Britain, bringing miserable weather to the entire country – except for Scotland.

‘Scotland, by contrast, is going to be much drier and will probably have some sunshine,’ he said. ‘But they will see strong winds. The weather system will be moving across the UK on Tuesday, bringing rain and strong winds with it.’

Wednesday will be a little bit clearer, but still much of the same.

‘Up until midday on Wednesday, most of the UK will be dry,’ Grahame continued. ‘But later on, there will be more rain.’
