UK Megastorm continues: More weather chaos predicted today with as much as six inches of rain after high streets were flooded in weekend deluge
Thunder brought as many as 13,000 lightning strikes yesterday with more heavy rain set to hit parts of the country. The predicted torrential downpours has prompted forecasters to issue an amber weather warning for potential flooding in the Midlands. A wider weather warning for heavy rain covers almost all of England, except the far north west and the West Country. It comes after streets in two towns were submerged in water after a severe flooding left motorists to battle to safety. Pictures showed shops and cars left underwater in Dunstable and Hitchin in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
