We knew the sunshine wouldn't last, but traditional British summer weather will return with a vengeance this weekend.
The next few days will be a washout, with rain falling on almost every part of the country. In fact, cloud and heavy rain will dominate until the middle of next week.
Today will see the only let-up. It will be mainly dry with just isolated showers and generally warm temperatures.


Cloud and showers will dominate Saturday, while Sunday will see further heavy rain coming in from the Atlantic and making its way across most parts of the country.
The Environment Agency has even warned there may be flash flooding in the South East.
A Met Office forecaster said: 'It will be a rainy weekend, it's very much traditional British summer weather with a lot of areas of low pressure which cause heavy rain.
'It will hit the East of England, particularly the North-East on Saturday and it will also be heavy in the West and the South-East on Sunday.
'There will be some prolonged sunny spells but generally the outlook is cloudy with temperatures at a maximum of around 21c (70f).
'It will remain unsettled this weekend until the early part of next week.'

Up to 25mm (1in) of rain is likely to fall in some areas, a third of the average rainfall for the whole of August.
It comes after Wednesday saw torrential stormy downpours batter the East coast from Cambridge up to Newcastle.
Eastern England was hit by nearly 5,000 lightning bolts during the afternoon – a rate of one every two seconds – and enough energy to power a shower for all 100,000 people living in Cambridge.
It is very unusual to see more than 3,000 in one day. Flash flooding caused disruption on the roads as drains struggled to cope with the intense burst of rainfall in Peterborough and Yorkshire.
The worst-hit area was Goole in East Yorkshire where 50 firefighters were mobilised to pump out flooded buildings, including an old people's home.
