On Sunday parts of south-west England and the Scottish borders were badly affected by two overnight storm fronts, while parts of Wales were hit by heavy rain.

The Met Office has issued a yellow rain warning - which tells people to be aware - for the north and east of England, and Scotland.

It said: "Heavy, thundery showers are expected to develop again during Monday. The public should be aware of the risk of surface water flooding, although as always in showery conditions, some places will escape."

On Sunday, six firefighters helped two people after their car became trapped in water on the A3072 at Redpost, near Bude, Cornwall.

The town's High Street was flooded, and at least three people trapped in houses, according to Lothian and Borders Fire Brigade.

Mid and West Wales Fire Service dealt with more than 70 calls between 08:00 BST and 14:00 BST on Sunday.

The service said flash flooding in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, had affected six homes and 21 caravans, and fire boats were used to rescue some stranded motorists.

In the north-east of England, torrential downpours caused flash flooding and travel disruption around Newcastle and Tyneside.

Later, Northumbria Police said most routes in its area had been reopened but the Swing Bridge, linking Gateshead to Newcastle near the Tyne Bridge, remained closed due to debris caused by the flash flood.

The inside of Newcastle railway station was hit by flash flooding for a time, with walkways cordoned off to allow the clean up to take place.
