The Met Office warned that rain would continue into Tuesday with possible travel disruptions in affected areas, and homes and small businesses were told they could experience flooding.
However, things are expected to dry up pretty quickly by the end of this week with temps soaring.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Dan Suri, said: "It's going to get hot and humid for some from Wednesday, with the highest temperatures expected across southern and western parts of the UK. Not everywhere will see the high temperatures, however, as an easterly breeze will keep North Sea coasts much cooler.

"By the time we get to Saturday, however, North Sea coasts will join much of the rest of eastern UK in seeing temperatures of 27 to 32 Celsius."
Dan continued: "Heatwave thresholds will therefore be met across some parts of the UK later this week and into the weekend."
Currently, the highest temperature on record for June is 35.6 degrees, which was recorded on 29th June 1957 in London and Southampton on 28th June 1976.
