Yellow warning for heavy rain and thunder on island
In place from 03:00 until 16:00 BST on Saturday, forecasters said rain overnight would turn heavy at dawn, with up to 25mm of rainfall expected in some places.
The Met Office said this would bring "significant" areas of standing water and a small risk of flooding in some areas.
There was also a "small risk" of thunderstorms, which was most likely overnight into the late morning.
If the risk of thunderstorms increased or became more significant a further warning would be issued, Ronaldsway Met Office said.

Wimbledon traditions: Updating the score boards
Follow live coverage from day three at SW19 as Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe look to avoid being the next stars dumped out of the tournament Getty Images Play is well underway after rain this morning delayed the start of the second round on day three of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships. Plenty of big names are desperate to avoid upsets in a wide-open singles draw today, with Americans Frances Tiafoe (12) trailing on court, plus Carlos Alcaraz (2) and Taylor Fritz (5) on later at SW19. Yesterday, Coco Gauff (2), Jessica Pegula (3), Zheng Qinwen (5) and Alexander Zverev (3) were among the stars to exit at the first hurdle, though American Madison Keys (6) progressed today. Watch: BBC (UK), ESPN (U.S.); Get involved: live@ GO FURTHER Wimbledon recap: Grand Slam record as seeds fall across the draws One thing I have noticed — and really love — when walking around Wimbledon is the number of scoreboards and upcoming fixture boards that require physical updating. It's a classy touch and speaks to the tradition and history of the site. They look so much nicer than electronic score boards, too. There's no mistaking where you are when you see the purple and green background on those scores, either. This just about covers it for many of yesterday's eliminated seeds... Frustration, bewilderment and a good dose of dejection. Wimbledon can be cruel even to the most talented of players. Coco Gauff (2) was one of those to fall short. Getty Images A very good morning to you from a slightly damp Wimbledon. The rain covers are on the outside courts and the street sellers on the walk down from Southfields tube station has swapped their Panama hats for ponchos and umbrellas on their stalls. But everyone has smiles on their faces and a determination to have a good time and see some great tennis regardless. Stick with us and we'll bring you all the action — weather related or sporting — throughout the morning. Getty Images An hour until play gets underway here at SW19. The incomparable Nancy Froston with you very shortly. Getty Images There is some serious history behind the trophies received by the two Wimbledon singles champions. The men's singles trophy was first presented in 1887 — cup-shaped and standing 18 inches high, with a diameter of 7.5 inches. A for the women's singles trophy, that was first presented a year earlier — dish-shaped with a mythological theme, it is known as the Rosewater Dish or Venus Rosewater Dish. The winner of both will receive a three-quarter size replica bearing the names of all past champions. Getty Images This year at Wimbledon the singles champions take home a pretty tasty prize pot. Both the men's and women's singles champion will win an equal prize pot of £3million each. That would set up the summer pretty nicely… Court 4 Wang Xinyu (CHN) / Zheng Saisai (CHN) vs. Gabriela Dabrowski (CAN) / Erin Routliffe (NZL) [2] Daniel Evans (GBR) / Henry Searle (GBR) vs. Harri Heliovaara (FIN) / Henry Patten (GBR) [2] Jodie Burrage (GBR) / Sonay Kartal (GBR) vs. Jessica Bouzas Maneiro (ESP) / Yvonne Cavalle-Reimers (ESP) Camila Osorio (COL) / Alycia Parks (USA) vs. Alicia Barnett (GBR) / Eden Silva (GBR) Court 5 Yuki Bhambri (IND) / Robert Galloway (USA) [16] vs. Romain Arneodo (MON) / Manuel Guinard (FRA) Miomir Kecmanović (SRB) / Andreas Mies (GER) vs. Marcel Granollers (ESP) / Horacio Zeballos (ARG) [4] Tang Qianhui (CHN) / Zhu Lin (CHN) vs. Jiang Xinyu (CHN) / Wu Fang-hsien (TPE) [12] Court 6 Rafael Matos (BRA) / Marcelo Melo (BRA) vs. Ivan Dodig (CRO) / Orlando Luz (BRA) Fernando Romboli (BRA) / John-Patrick Smith (AUS) vs. Mackenzie McDonald (USA) / Alex Michelsen (USA) Angelica Moratelli (ITA) / Sabrina Santamaria (USA) vs. Sorana Cîrstea (ROU) / Anna Kalinskaya Court 8 Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) / Peyton Stearns (USA) vs. Chan Hao-ching (TPE) / Barbora Krejčíková (CZE) Tomáš Macháč (CZE) / Jakub Menšík (CZE) vs. Pedro Martínez (ESP) / Jaume Munar (ESP) David Goffin (BEL) / Alexandre Muller (FRA) vs. Nicolas Barrientos (COL) / Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli (IND) Nadiia Kichenok (UKR) / Yuliia Starodubtseva (UKR) vs. Ekaterina Alexandrova / Zhang Shuai (CHN) [14] Court 9 Ariel Behar (URU) / Joran Vliegen (BEL) vs. Simone Bolelli (ITA) / Andrea Vavassori (ITA) [7] Anna Blinkova / Yuan Yue (CHN) vs. Nicole Melichar-Martinez (USA) / Liudmila Samsonova [15] Jakob Schnaitter (GER) / Mark Wallner (GER) vs. Sebastian Baez (ARG) / Francisco Comesana (ARG) Shuko Aoyama (JPN) / Ena Shibahara (JPN) vs. Magda Linette (POL) / Bernarda Pera (USA) Court 10 Marta Kostyuk (UKR) / Elena-Gabriela Ruse (ROU) vs. Anastasija Sevastova (LAT) / Yanina Wickmayer (BEL) Theo Arribage (FRA) / Patrik Trhac (USA) vs. Quentin Halys (FRA) / Nicolas Mahut (FRA) Damir Džumhur (BIH) / Skander Mansouri (TUN) vs. Maximo Gonzalez (ARG) / Andres Molteni (ARG) [12] Aleksandar Kovacevic (USA) / Learner Tien (USA) vs. Balaji (IND) / Miguel Reyes-Varela (MEX) Court 11 Kimberly Birrell (AUS) / Maya Joint (AUS) vs. Ulrikke Eikeri (NOR) / Makoto Ninomiya (JPN) Irina Khromacheva / Fanny Stollar (HUN) [13] vs. Aleksandra Krunić (SRB) / Suzan Lamens (NED) Tomas Martin Etcheverry (ARG) / Camilo Ugo Carabelli (ARG) vs. Hendrik Jebens (GER) / Albano Olivetti (FRA) Rinky Hijikata (AUS) / David Pel (NED) vs. André Göransson (SWE) / Sem Verbeek (NED) [14] Court 14 Leylah Fernandez (CAN) [29] vs. Laura Siegemund (GER) Kevin Krawietz (GER) / Tim Pütz (GER) [3] vs. Rohan Bopanna (IND) / Sander Gille (BEL) Eva Lys (GER) vs. Linda Nosková (CZE) [30] Kamil Majchrzak (POL) vs. Ethan Quinn (USA) Court 15 Nicolas Jarry (CHI) vs. Learner Tien (USA) Brandon Nakashima (USA) [29] vs. Yunchaokete Bu (CHN) T/F 6/4 4/6 7/6(1) 0/0 Beatriz Haddad Maia (BRA) [21] vs. Dalma Gálfi (HUN) Jordan Thompson (AUS) vs. Benjamin Bonzi (FRA) Hailey Baptiste (USA) / Caty McNally (USA) vs. Beatriz Haddad Maia (BRA) / Laura Siegemund (GER) [11] Court 16 Adrian Mannarino (FRA) vs. Valentin Royer (FRA) McCartney Kessler (USA) / Clara Tauson (DEN) vs. Harriet Dart (GBR) / Maia Lumsden (GBR) Ashlyn Krueger (USA) [31] vs. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Caroline Dolehide (USA) / Sofia Kenin (USA) [16] vs. Bibiane Schoofs (NED) / Dayana Yastremska (UKR) Court 17 Marcelo Arévalo (ESA) / Mate Pavić (CRO) [1] vs. Roberto Carballés Baena (ESP) / Laslo Djere (SRB) Cristina Bucşa (ESP) vs. Donna Vekić (CRO) [22] Elise Mertens (BEL) [24] vs. Ann Li (USA) Cristian Garín (CHI) vs Arthur Rinderknech (FRA) Centre Court Aryna Sabalenka [1] vs. Marie Bouzková (CZE) Oliver Tarvet (GBR) vs. Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) [2] Emma Raducanu (GBR) vs. Markéta Vondroušová (CZE) No. 1 COURT Cameron Norrie (GBR) vs. Frances Tiafoe (USA) [12] Katie Boulter (GBR) vs. Solana Sierra (ARG) Taylor Fritz (USA) [5] vs. Gabriel Diallo (CAN) No. 2 COURT Olga Danilović (SRB) vs. Madison Keys (USA) [6] Nuno Borges (POR) vs. Billy Harris (GBR) Naomi Osaka (JPN) vs. Kateřina Siniaková (CZE) Arthur Fery (GBR) vs. Luciano Darderi (ITA) No. 3 Court Viktoriya Tomova (BUL) vs. Sonay Kartal (GBR) Andrey Rublev [14] vs. Lloyd Harris (RSA) Jasmine Paolini (ITA) [4] vs. Kamilla Rakhimova Botic van de Zandschulp (NED) vs. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP) [26] Court 12 João Fonseca (BRA) vs. Jenson Brooksby (USA) Renata Zarazúa (MEX) vs. Amanda Anisimova (USA) [13] Jiří Lehečka (CZE) [23] vs. Mattia Bellucci (ITA) Aliaksandra Sasnovich vs. Elina Svitolina (UKR) [14] Court 18 Shintaro Mochizuki (JPN) vs. Karen Khachanov [17] Diana Shnaider [12] vs. Diane Parry (FRA) Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN) [25] vs. Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) Emily Appleton (GBR) / Heather Watson (GBR) vs. Mirra Andreeva / Diana Shnaider [5] We'd love to hear from you ahead of the 2025 Championships getting underway in little more than an hour.

Warning of possible flooding from storms as heatwave comes to an end
Storms and downpours could bring flooding across parts of the UK as the heatwave comes to an end. A yellow warning for thunderstorms has been issued by the Met Office for parts of south-east Scotland and north-east England on Wednesday following the record-breaking heatwave. Heavy showers are expected to develop across parts of the region, including Fife, Durham and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with some places seeing up to 20mm of rain in an hour or less before the rain clears east into the North Sea later in the afternoon. The forecaster warned of impacts from surface water flooding because of the amount of rain falling in such a short space of time, with the warning in place until 6pm. ⚠️ Yellow weather warning issued ⚠️ Thunderstorms across parts of northeast England and southeast Scotland Today 1100 – 1800 Latest info 👉 Stay #WeatherAware⚠️ — Met Office (@metoffice) July 2, 2025 Strong winds of up to 40mph could also develop, affecting areas including East Lothian and Edinburgh. The South East will also experience some relief from the recent heat, with outbreaks of rain and a possibility of thunder in areas including Kent and Sussex. Temperatures will be in the low to mid-20C across England and Wales, with a maximum of 27C in the South East, still markedly higher than the long-term average for the region of around 23C but lower than Tuesday, which at 34.7C was the hottest day of the year so far. Scotland and Northern Ireland will see highs in the low 20s. Wednesday night is expected to be largely dry with clear spells but cloud will increase in the north-west, bringing outbreaks of rain to west Scotland by dawn. The South East will have a cooler night than recently, with a minimum temperature of 10C. The Met Office forecasts that Thursday will be dry and warm in the south. But it said the north-west would be unsettled, with scattered showers, clouds and isolated thunderstorms and stronger winds particularly in north-east Scotland in the afternoon. Alex Burkill, a Met Office presenter and meteorologist, said heavy rain could cause some problems but temperatures would no longer be as 'oppressively hot'. He said: 'There will be some heavy rain at times in the east and that could cause a little bit of problems in a few places because there could be some thunder mixed in with it. 'The heavy rain that's pushing into parts of the South East – Kent, East Anglia, for example – some thunder is possible there, and also further north across parts of east England, maybe even the far south-east of Scotland could see some thunder as well. 'Otherwise, there will be a scattering of showers coming in across parts of Scotland to Northern Ireland, some sunny spells mixed in, but some fairly hefty showers possible. 'Across the bulk of England and Wales, it's looking like a largely fine day, some decent sunshine on offer and feeling pretty warm in that sunshine too. 'Temperatures are nowhere near as high as they have been of late. We're looking at highest temperatures probably around 26C – feeling warm but not as oppressively hot as it has been.'

Northern Lights possible this week, Met Office says, thanks to solar storms
The Met Office says charge particles from two solar flares could crash into the Earth's atmosphere creating Northern lights displays for the next few days. Two recent Coronal Mass Ejections - when material from the Sun's surface is thrown into space, could collide with the Earth today, rushing towards the atmosphere thanks to high-speed solar winds. The Space Weather forecast reads: "There is the potential for two possible Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) arrivals, along with a possible connection to a high-speed solar wind stream later into July 3. These factors may lead to an expansion of the auroral oval, increasing the likelihood of aurora sightings across higher latitudes. "That said, significant displays remain unlikely due to the limited hours of darkness in the Northern Hemisphere at this time of year."

Two region have shown some recent growth and could spark solar flares. No Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) were observed in the past 24hrs. The Met Office said solar activity is expected to increase to 'Unsettled to Active' with 'G1/Minor Storm (Kp5) intervals' on July 2 and 3 on Day 1 into Day 2 (02-03 Jul), and a Slight Chance of G2/Moderate Storm (Kp6). That means there is a possibility of seeing Northern Lights. Geomagnetic activity expected to lessen through the end of the week.
