Cars driving through flooding in Kent which closed roads

Britain is enduring a washout today as more than a month's worth of rain and gales blight the start of summer. Forecasters at the Met Office have issued a 'danger to life' amber warning for London and the Home Counties from 3pm until 11pm today amid fears of homes flooded, train cancellations, road closures and power cuts. The amber warning said thundery showers are expected to develop over parts of South East England this afternoon and into the evening, with up to 2.4in (60mm) of rain falling in the space of four to six hours. There are five separate severe weather warnings for rain that do not relent until Thursday, and commuters across swathes of eastern England have been told to take extra care in treacherous conditions on the roads.
