Derbyshire weather: This is when heavy rain could hit Derby as heatwave set to end
Derby looks set to finally see heavy showers, with the current heatwave finally coming to an end.
Derbyshire has basked in high temperatures since Friday, with thermometers hitting the high 20s each day.
But now forecasters are predicting the city will finally see some heavy showers on Tuesday.
Tuesday, July 15, will see sunny intervals changing to heavy rain by late morning - with temperatures dropping to 20 degrees.
When will the heat end?
A change in the weather is on the cards early next week. Monday will see showers developing across many parts of the UK, some of which could be heavy and thundery. This will herald the arrival of fresher, cooler conditions from the west, whilst some eastern areas will remain very warm with temperatures in the high twenties, the rest of the UK will see the peak of daytime temperatures on Monday several degrees lower than on previous days. Cooler, more changeable weather will spread across the whole of the UK by midweek.
What are the heatwave criteria? In the UK, a heatwave is officially defined when a location records at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold. This threshold varies by county, reflecting the diverse climate across the UK.
