Met Office meteorologists say the heavy rain and flooding have made people forget the long hot periods. Becky Mitchell, of the Met Office, explained: “We’ve seen a lot of reports on the news about the flooding. That should kill off some of the showers but by Thursday there will be more rain for most, with the south east remaining slightly drier. Videos and photos of heavy flooding on the roads and drains full of water were posted on social media by people in Walthamstow, East London, and Battersea in South London.
