Thunderstorms and torrential downpours have caused flash flooding across parts of the UK.
Perhaps the most dramatic picture of the day. Three people were trapped in their cars in Wallington, south London, following flash floods...
Two escaped before firefighters arrived while the other needed rescuing.
BBC Weather Watcher charlotte sent in this picture of flooding in Baildon, Bradford.
The Met Office issued yellow (be aware) rain warnings for Tuesday afternoon and evening for much of the UK. One remains in place for south-east England until Wednesday morning.
Where there are thunderstorms... BBC Weather Watcher Suzies Street captured this lightning in Toddington, Bedfordshire.
More lightning in Bedfordshire. In Northern Ireland, a man and a boy are in a critical condition and a girl is seriously ill after they were struck by lightning.
And this downpour in Dunstable in Bedfordshire was caught by BBC Weather Watcher Stymied.
However, not everyone had to do dodge the showers. This picture was taken in Southwold, Suffolk.
And there was clearly some sunshine to be had in Leeds.
