Wild weather is expected to batter many parts of Britain this weekend, with flood warnings issued for Friday and Saturday.
Thunderstorms, hail and lightening are expected across the south of England, turning Glastonbury into a mud-bath and serving up a Wimbledon washout for tennis fans.
Weathermen say heavy downpours are expected to start in the early hours of Friday.
A Met Office spokesman said: "Showers will become heavy and thundery across southwestern parts of England and Wales early on Friday, moving northeast to affect other areas south of The Wash to North Wales during the day.
"Some reduction in activity is expected overnight, before further slow moving heavy and thundery downpours develop during Saturday, easing from the north later.
"The public should be aware that the resulting downpours may lead to localised flooding and potential disruption to transport and outdoor events."
It is only four months since devastating floods hit parts of England. Worst affected were homes along the River Thames and the Somerset levels, where many are still clearing up from the shocking of the winter weather.
