In typical British fashion, the sunshine is forecast to come to an end as the county braces for heavy downpours.

After Norfolk sweltered in temperatures reaching 30C, the week of pure sunshine is expected to come to an end tonight.

The Met Office has forecast heavy showers as outbreaks of rain pour on to much of the county tonight, beginning at around 7pm.

A Met Office spokesman said: "The wet front will make its way east as we go overnight bringing cloud and rain with busts of heavy rain as we go through into the early hours of the morning."

Some people may wake up to rain in the morning but the showers are expected to clear by the afternoon with temperatures returning to the low twenties.

The wet conditions are not set to dampen summer spirits for long with warmer weather forecast to arrive again this weekend as temperatures hit 26C on Saturday.
