SHOCK WEATHER FORECAST: Worst HAILSTORMS in 170 YEARS to hit Britain THIS weekend
Nathan Rao
The UK is about to be rocked by the most frenzied and chaotic start to summer EVER as monsoons and tornadoes rage in.
Ice stones the 'size of cricket balls' will cause devastation across the country in what forecasters fear could be the the worst hailstorms since a deadly 'supercell' led to hailstones leaving craters FIVE FEET deep across England 171 years ago.
Temperatures are expected to rocket to an incredible 91F (32.6C) by Saturday as a swathe of roasting hot air suddenly floods the British Isles.
Heavy and persistent downpours will start today with parts of the south on alert for extreme flash floods.
But the really dramatic weather will start on Friday night when two 'battling' weather systems will fight it out over Britain.
The resulting carnage will trigger tornadoes and fierce winds, enormous hailstorms and potentially DEADLY lightning strikes.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning across virtually the entire country on Saturday and warned of major travel disruption.

The warnings come as the latest weather forecasting models predicted a huge plume of warm air will sweep into the UK from the continent on Friday triggering the extreme weather.
Met Office Chief Forecaster Frank Saunders said: “Thundery downpours are expected to affect parts of England, Wales and southern counties of Scotland during Saturday.
"The public should be aware of the potential for localised flooding due to the intensity of these storms, although at this stage the location of the heaviest rainfall is uncertain.
"Warm, humid air is likely to be pulled northwards from France late on Friday and during Saturday.
"Within this airmass, there is an increasing likelihood that heavy, thundery showers will break out."
