It comes after areas of England faced flash flooding after unseasonable rainfall.

In Lincolnshire 600 homes have been evacuated.

The Environment Agency said the area area experienced two months' worth of rain in just two days - with 132mm between June 10 and 12, which it considers "an unprecedented event".

High volume pumps are being used to reduce the water levels.

Residents in at least 590 properties in Wainfleet and Thorpe Culvert were told to leave as waters continued to surge on Saturday, with further heavy rain predicted.

Anglian Water Services have requested people in the town avoid using washing machines, toilets and showers during the flooding, while water pumps were drafted in by the Environment Agency on Sunday to ease the flow.

RAF Chinook helicopters dropped an additional 76 tonnes of sand and ballast in the area on Sunday after drafting in 270 one-tonne sandbags in an attempt to repair the bank on Friday.

Temperatures across the country will rise into the mid-20s early next week, according to the Met Office, before there is further rain and the risk of thunder.

Meteorologist Simon Partridge said: "There is the potential for some thundery and heavy rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.

"A little bit of uncertainty about when it will arrive but it will be pushing in from the south and will leave from north-east England. England and Wales will have spells of heavy and thundery rain."

Immediately before that, the south east of England could have temperatures of 25C or 26C on Tuesday, according to the forecaster.
