Most of the UK will be hit by torrential rain and lightning strikes as severe weather warnings are issued for flash flooding.
Thundery rain will sweep up the country on Saturday morning, with up to 3cm (1.2in) falling in just one hour.
The UK monthly average rainfall for the whole of June is 7.3cm (2.9in).
The Met Office has issued yellow "be aware" warnings for heavy rain for most areas of the UK, with only northern Scotland and the extreme Southwest of England likely to escape the downpours.
Heavy rain is forecast for most of the UK during Saturday Sky Weather Presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: "Some torrential downpours are likely, especially across central and southern England and Wales, initially with frequent lightning, then northern England, Northern Ireland and southwest Scotland later.
"The intense downpours are likely to cause localised flooding in places with hail possible and gusty winds.
"Later it should improve across most of England and Wales as the rain clears, therefore becoming drier and brighter across these areas before the end of the day."
John Curtin, director of incident management at the Environment Agency, said: "There is a low but increased risk of flooding this weekend across the whole of England, as isolated torrential downpours are predicted.
"We are monitoring the situation closely in case things change and will have teams ready to respond 24/7."
Early arrivals at Epsom Downs Racecourse for this year's Derby are likely to experience heavy rain before the racing begins.
Despite the rain, temperatures are likely to remain warm with highs of 25C in London and the South East.
