The UK has already sweltered through five days of temperatures above 30C in September for the first time, with Saturday making it six-in-a-row.
A yellow warning issued by the Met Office spans east Wales, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Manchester, Nottingham and Oxford is in play until 9pm.
The same warning has been issued for Sunday covering Northern Ireland, northern parts of England and Wales as well as southern Scotland until 11.59pm. Environment Agency flood duty manager Chris Wilding warned motorists against driving through floodwaters in the case of flash flooding. “We urge people not to drive through floodwater – it is often deeper than it looks and just 30cm of flowing water is enough to float your car.”
