Read our privacy policy London and other parts of the UK faced flooding once again as torrential rain triggered Met Office weather warnings. It is the third time within weeks that London has been hit with flash flooding, and experts have warned climate change is likely to make such extreme weather more common, The Met Office said that torrential rain would continue to affect the southeast of England throughout the day. Becky Mitchell, a Met Office meteorologist, told the PA news agency: “It’s going to stay quite changeable at least for the next week, but as we head towards the end of August, there’s a likelihood we’ll see a hotter spell and drier more settled weather across the whole of the UK.” Although it is too early to predict temperatures at this stage, it could “potentially be in the high 20s”. By comparison, Scotland has only had 38 per cent of its average rainfall, and Ms Mitchell said “a few northern areas have been much, much drier”.
