Flash flooding sparks chaos as torrential rain lashes South East

[ad_1]

More than four inches of rain was recorded in gauges in parts of Sussex on Wednesday.

The Met Office said disruption would continue into Wednesday evening, with an amber weather warning for danger to life from fast-flowing and deep floodwater in force until 10pm.

Another weather warning covers part of Kent until 8am on Thursday, although the worst of the effects will be felt tonight.

Flooding is likely to affect homes and businesses “quickly”, as 30mm to 50mm of rain could fall in just an hour, while a few places may see more than 100mm in a few hours.

Forecasters say this could lead to train and bus cancellation amid difficult driving conditions, power cuts and communities becoming cut off off roads.

Lightning, hail and strong winds could also lash areas included in the warning, which spreads across Suffolk, Kent, Surrey and West Sussex.
