UK weather: Met Office warns of thunderstorms and heavy rain today – but temperatures to still hit balmy 29C highs
THUNDER and rain is forecast to sweep the UK today, but Brits can still expect warm weather for now. The Met Office said parts of the UK will see "showery rain" and it may even bring thunder towards the North. 6 6 6 It will be generally drier in the south, but "with the occasional showery outbreak". However the balmy temperatures remain, and it could even hit 29C. It comes after a weekend of sunny weather in the early 30Cs. Baking Brits made the most of the heatwave yesterday - as temperatures are set to plummet this week. Sunseekers flocked to beaches and parks to soak up the last of the rays, before cooler conditions and downpours creep in from today. Hundreds of people basked in the sizzling sunshine at Lyme Regis in Dorset. The seaside resort was packed with parasols and picnic blankets as daytrippers enjoyed the cloudless blue skies. In Hathersage in the Peak District, youngsters cooled off from the searing temperatures with a dip in an outdoor pool. 5-Day Forecast Monday: Bands of showery rain will move east today, turning thundery in places, particularly across Scotland and northern England. Generally drier in the south with the occasional showery outbreak. Feeling fresher for many, but very warm in eastern England. Tuesday: A band of rain will move east through the day, followed by heavy scattered showers. Windy for many, particularly across the south. Feeling fresh. Wednesday-Friday: Dry for many, although scattered showers are possible at times, mainly in the north. Increasingly warm through the week, particularly in the south, with muggy nights returning. While hot-and-bothered Brummies were seen splashing themselves with water from a fountain in Birmingham as they tried to beat the heat. The much-anticipated Wimbledon men's final also took place under sweltering conditions at SW19. Reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz and world no.1 Jannik Sinner battled through 29C temperatures in an epic Centre Court showdown, watched by 15,000 people. A further 25,000 tennis fans braved the heat to cheer them on in the grounds. But residents in Cannock, Staffs will be happy to see the back of the sun - after their road started melting. Locals complained that tar has been sticking to their tyres and shoes in Gorsemoor Road. Amber heat health alerts remained in place for much of the country on Sunday, with Brits warned to cover up, seek shade and apply sunscreen regularly. The third heatwave of the year also led to hosepipe bans being declared for millions of people across Yorkshire, Kent and Sussex. Those who ignore it could face a £1,000 penalty. 6 6 6

Caruso, Wiggins, Thunder bench sparks run that tied NBA Finals at 1-1
OKLAHOMA CITY — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put on a masterclass Sunday in Game 2 of the Finals. At the same time, the league-best Thunder defense lived up to its reputation, making life difficult for Tyrese Haliburton. However, the Thunder won Game 2 because of their bench. That Oklahoma City bench scored 48 points on the night, and it was the bench that fueled the 19-2 second quarter run, which ultimately decided the game. 19-2 THUNDER RUN IN THE 2Q ⛈️⛈️ ALL-OUT EFFORT LOOKING TO EVEN THE FINALS! 'I think we just kind of found a rhythm on both ends of the court,' Aarom Wiggins said of the second-quarter run that broke the game open. 'We were able to get stops, get out in transition, hit a couple shots. Once we kind of got going, you could kind of just feel the energy playing a factor in that.' Praise for Caruso, Wiggins The Thunder bench was led by Alex Caruso's 20 points and Wiggins' 18. However, it wasn't all about the points, Kenrich Williams had zero of those but had a fantastic hustle shift in the first half that helped in the big run, and he was +15 on the night in just eight minutes of action. 'They were huge tonight. [Wiggins] was huge tonight,' Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. 'I give him a lot of credit because he was a huge part of our success this season, and in the playoffs, his role has been varied night to night. But he hangs in there. He was huge in the Game 4 win at Denver, in that series. He was massive tonight... 'Great professionalism, great readiness and a huge performance for us in that situation.' Wiggins' ability to stay ready through these playoffs, despite his wildly inconsistent minutes, has impressed his teammates. 'It's the hardest job in the league, I feel like. I think he's underrated...' Jalen Williams said of Wiggins. 'That goes underrated. It's really hard to stay engaged and stay ready. For him to be able to do that on the biggest stage he's ever played on and have a really good game, very special player.' 'It's impressive to me. He's been exactly who he's been all year throughout the Playoffs,' Gilgeous-Alexander said of Wiggins. 'Like, sometimes it's 20 minutes, sometimes two minutes, sometimes he gets 10. It's all over the place. No matter what, he finds a way to impact winning for us. 'You need it in the biggest moments. No one-man show can win an NBA championship. For him to rise to the occasion and just be who he's been in the biggest moment of his basketball career is pretty gutsy. Says a lot about the competitor and the man he is.' From his perspective, Wiggins has seen it all, which has him ready for these moments. 'I think I've been in every different position, whether that's having the ball in my hands, being a second, third, fourth option, even coming off the bench,' Wiggins said. 'Regardless of what's asked from me, I think I've just kind of had experiences.' As for Caruso, Chet Holmgren called him 'our GOAT.' 'He's one of those guys who you know is going to bring it every single night, whether he's [age] 22 or 30, doesn't matter, he's going to bring it,' Holmgren said of Caruso, having a little fun with him being one of the older players on the team. 'I feel like as a collective we really feed off of that. Then also his ability to kind of process things that are happening out there and relay it and communicate it to everybody else is really important for us.' 'He has a lot of experience and he is really smart,' Lu Dort said of Caruso. 'Sometimes I feel like he is seeing the game a little differently. He's an unbelievable defender, me as well, so every time we talk about defensive stuff I am picking his brain.' While Wiggins has seen fluctuating minutes during the playoffs, Caruso saw Daigneault limit his minutes all season long, with the goal of having him fresh for moments like this. 'It was difficult just because I am such a competitive guy,' Caruso said of his limited minutes this season. 'If I'm only playing 15 to 20 minutes, if it's one of those nights where it's 15, we're not playing great, like my instinct is to, all right, coach, leave me in there, let me fix it, let me be the one to help us get out of it... 'At the same time, we won 68 games in the regular season. We had a 12-, 13-man rotation through the year depending on who was hurt, different teams we played. That just comes with the nature of having a really good, deep team.' That depth is why Oklahoma City is back in the series, now tied 1-1 and heading back to Indiana for Game 3.

Watch SEVENTEEN Bring the ‘Thunder' to ‘Kelly Clarkson Show' Performance
SEVENTEEN found their way back to The Kelly Clarkson Show on Wednesday (June 4) to perform 'Thunder,' the lead single from their just-released fifth studio album Happy Burstday. The off-site performance takes place in an industrial warehouse, and it starts with THE 8 answering a ringing payphone branded with the logo of The Kelly Clarkson Show. He's then surrounded by his 10 other bandmates — JOSHUA, JUN, HOSHI, WOOZI, MINGYU, DK, SEUNGKWAN, VERNON and DINO — as they quite literally answer the call to give a bombastic performance on Clarkson's daytime talk show. (JEONGHAN and WONWOO sat out the performance as they're currently serving in South Korea's military.) More from Billboard SEVENTEEN Shares Memories From the 'THUNDER' Music Video Set: Exclusive Photos 'This Is What You Asked For': Watch Linkin Park Star in Ice-Shattering Stanley Cup Final Promo Sylvia Rhone, Ciara & More Honored at Inaugural Black Women in Music Dinner Each of the group's three units — hip-hop, vocal and dance — are spotlighted throughout the performance, as the 11 members switch places throughout to put different artists center stage for the stomping choreography in the wide open space. For her introduction, Clarkson called SEVENTEEN 'a K-pop performance powerhouse' — and she's had a front-row seat to this powerhouse before. Back in January 2021, the group hit Clarkson's show for the U.S. debut performance of their 2020 hit single 'Left & Right.' Happy Burstday, which was released last month to celebrate SEVENTEEN's 10th anniversary, includes solo songs from all 13 members for the first time, as well as three group tracks: 'Thunder,' 'HBD' and the Pharrell-produced 'Bad Influence.' Timbaland also produced on the project. Billboard previously shared exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from the 'Thunder' music video set.
