Sheffield Weather: Thunderstorms and showers forecasts for Tuesday evening

Monday and Tuesday have been scorching in Sheffield and the UK, with record-breaking temperatures hit on Monday and expected to be beaten once again on Tuesday with 39C temperatures forecast for the steel city.

With a level four emergency heat warning and amber heat warning in place for the city, the public have been advised to take caution whilst enjoying the blazing sun.

However, after the record-breaking temperatures have been hit on Tuesday afternoon, thunderstorms and showers are forecast to give a reprieve for periods of the evening – according to Met Office.
