Britain faces four days of torrential weather after the Met Office warned more than the monthly average of rain could fall in just 24 hours on Monday.
Yellow warnings have also been issued for most of south east England for the next few days with heavy showers likely to cause some flooding and interruption to travel.
Areas such as London, Nottingham, Peterborough and Norwich are expected to endure prolonged rain – as experts forecast “unseasonably wet” conditions will dampen plans for anyone hoping to make the most of some June sunshine.
However, even though the miserable weather will leave many places drenched, it could feel slightly warmer generally as the blustery winds subside.

Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge told the Mirror’s website that tomorrow’s rainfall will exceed the amount usually expected over a few weeks.
He said: “We will get heavy bursts. We possibly could get 2.5 inches in the south east on higher ground.”
The weather expert continued: “The average rainfall for June is 2.04 inches in the south east.
“It could be that heavy anywhere from east Oxfordshire right across to East Anglia.”

More of the same is expected on Tuesday, but the rain will likely be moving northwards by Wednesday – with coastal areas between Hull and Newcastle bearing the brunt.
Rain warnings are also in place for those areas for Wednesday and Thursday.
The BBC reports that Thursday will also see heavy rain push into Scotland with the south still affected by showers.
The north west of England will be driest but cool and windy weather will also prevail.
