After days of amber and yellow thunderstorm warnings for much of the country, the Met Office said “more typical” summer weather is in store. Friday will see early rain, which may be heavy for some, across south-east England, the Met Office said, with much of England and Wales possibly enjoying warm, sunny spells. Despite the recent days of rain and thunderstorms, the company said water levels in its reservoirs are “much lower than usual”, with the ban in effect from August 24. The firm joins Welsh Water, Southern Water and South East Water in implementing bans, with South West Water and Yorkshire Water following suit on August 23 and 26 respectively – meaning more than 29.4 million customers across the UK will be prohibited from using hosepipes by the end of next week.
