Wettest September In 30 Years Causes Havoc
Flooding across northern England are continuing to cause problems for roads, rail and properties, as the most intense September storm for 30 years continues.
Some 70 weather warnings remain in place, mainly in the north of England.
It is thought some areas could receive a further 20mm-40mm of rain.
Forecasters however have said that the weather will slowly improve throughout the day.
Tuesday saw some places deluged in what was their wettest September day on record, with hundreds of homes being evacuated.
On Wednesday parts of south Wales and southern and north-eastern England will bear the worst of Wednesday's heavy rain, with the "potential for local accumulations for 20mm-40mm," the Met Office said.
However, it added that "there remains uncertainty about exactly where the heaviest rain will fall".
