Last week's floods affected 27,000 homes. Despite heavy showers over the weekend, the feared return of the floods failed to materialise. Across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Midlands river levels were falling. However, there are still four severe flood warnings still in place, all covering the swollen River Don in Yorkshire. A national flood centre was set up over the weekend in Worcestershire, following complaints that last week's emergency response was chaotic.
Yesterday the Met Office confirmed that June was on course to be the wettest since records began 93 years ago. Today, most of Britain will have sunshine and showers which could be heavy with thundery storms, particularly in the North. Tomorrow, southern England and Wales will have persistent rain with showers elsewhere which will ease off a little on Wednesday.
