Milder weather conditions were forecast today after torrential rain lashed large areas of the country - with west Oxfordshire among the wettest places in the UK.
Forecasters said the UK would enjoy sunshine and scattered showers following the intense rainfall yesterday, including heavy storms in London and the south east.
MeteoGroup, the weather arm of the Press Association, said the highest rain fall recorded in a 12 hour period yesterday was 35 millimetres in Brize Norton, west Oxfordshire.
