London could be pelted with thunderstorms on Tuesday and Thursday as the capital is drenched by more wet weather.
BBC Weather has warned that there could be thundery showers at lunchtime on Tuesday, with conditions expected to get worse at around 2pm.
The forecaster has predicted similar conditions for three hours around Thursday lunchtime, with light rain continuing into the evening.
The Met Office has also warned there could be three hours of heavy rain on Tuesday followed by showers again throughout the day on Thursday.
The soggy weather comes after warnings that Britain could face one of its wettest summers on record.
The Met Office has predicted nearly six weeks of rain will fall across the summer months (the three months from July to August).
The forecaster has reportedly told the Government and transport chiefs that there could be at least 2.5mm of rain on at least 50 days throughout June and August.
In the same period last year, rain fell on 40 days.
It could be the wettest summer since 1912 if rain falls on more than 55 days.

It comes after festival goers at Brockwell Park in Herne Hill complained that City Splash festival on Bank Holiday Monday was “ruined” after they had to stomp through ankle-deep mud.
London has had a largely wet year, with the south of England experiencing its wettest February since 1836, according to Met Office data.
With the naming of Storm Kathleen, in April, the letter K was reached for only the second time since the annual storm alphabet was established in 2015.
