MORE heavy rain, thunder and lightning is forecast to hit the region tonight.
The Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning for the region from 7pm on Friday.
Experts say hot and humid weather on Friday will spread northwards from the continent.
Isolated but heavy thunderstorms are expected to start in the south of the country before arriving in the North-East and North Yorkshire early on Saturday morning from midnight onwards.
The Met Office said in a statement: "With large amounts of energy again available in this atmosphere storms could be severe, with torrential downpours, hail and squally gusts of wind. 30mm of rain is possible in less than an hour, with as much as 50mm possible in three hours very locally.
"Large uncertainty remains regarding areas most at risk from storms, and many areas will miss these altogether, staying largely dry. However, where they do develop, disruption is possible."
The North of England is likely to face the most disruption, along with Wales and parts of the Midlands.
Frequent lighting is also expected.
The warning comes after the region was hit by intense thunderstorms on Wednesday and Thursday morning.
