An amber weather warning is in force for millions of people across the UK – with parts of the country dealing with flash floods after some areas saw more than a month’s worth of rain in 24 hours.The warning for heavy rain came into force at around 8:15am and will remain in place until 9pm, sweeping over Bath, Oxford, Reading and Milton Keynes.
The Met Office originally issued an amber warning covering Worcester, Birmingham, Nottingham and Hull before updating its advice.A larger but less severe yellow rain warning is also in place until midnight covering the North East, the Midlands, the South East, much of the southern tip of England and eastern Wales.Heavy rainfall has already seen parts of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and London submerged – causing widespread travel disruption and damage to properties.
