Despire warnings of flash floods and thunder, Nottingham instead enjoyed a weekend of mostly bright, sunny skies.
Earlier this week the Met Office had forecast a yellow weather warning across the country, including a risk of localised flooding.
Nottinghamshire experienced a thunderstorm at 6am on Saturday morning which was accompanied by brief showers lasting until around 10am.
This was then followed by warm, sunny weather throughout the majority of the weekend, with a spell of rain during early Sunday evening.
It came as a sigh of relief for the thousands attending the first No Tomorrow festival in Wollaton Park on Saturday as well as the charity runners taking part in Race for Life at Victoria Embankment
Met Office spokeswoman Emma Sharples said that while Central England had avoided the worst of this weekend's weather, there were signs of cloudier skies over the coming week.
She said: "It will start out quite showery today; we've got an area of rain moving overnight from Sunday but it's quite sporadic and turning out quite bright and sunny during mid to late morning.
"There may be a stirring of heavy, possibly thundery showers for tomorrow afternoon however.
"Some places may get a real downpour, some may avoid them completely with highs of around 22C."
