view of large patches of white, fluffy cloud with areas of blue sky scattered across the picture.
Western and southern areas of the UK stayed dry, with some sunny spells. However, eastern areas of England and Scotland were affected by showers, some of which were heavy and accompanied by hail and thunder.

June saw some of the highest temperatures of the year so far and weather watches for the heat were issued for the first time since 2006. However, there were also heavy thunderstorms which caused flash flooding in some areas.

Children enjoy playing in the huge debris left after a hailstorm on Ford Farm Way, Ottery St Mary, Devon.
