The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for large swathes of England for most of the week, after Monday saw a month’s worth of rain fall in some parts. Some London underground stations were flooded and parts of the M25 in Kent had to be shut after two sinkholes opened up. National Rail has also warned Southern and Thameslink trains will be badly affected by the weather as the week progresses with more brutal weather.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for severe weather for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Tuesday’s warnings cover the south west of England as well as parts of the east and northeast, Midlands and Yorkshire and Humber.
Wednesday and Thursday see warnings continue and stretch into parts of Wales.
A total of three flood warnings and 39 flood alerts are in place across the country, with some areas at risk of three inches of rain, particularly over the first half of Tuesday.
