Carol Kirkwood predicted more rain for a large chunk of the day coming in from the South and said that most of the country would be experiencing outbreaks of sunshine in between rain showers throughout the course of Thursday. The Met Office has issued two yellow weather warnings, one in the South for rain and one in the North for wind. Temperatures will range from 10 in the north to 14 in the south.
Ms Kirkwood said: “You can still see a few showers, that heavy rain you’re talking about came South, and it still is very much with us.
“And it will be with us for a large chunk of today but it eventually clears from the southeast and then behind it, we’re looking at sunshine and showers.
“Some parts of the country from this rain saw as much as 18mm for example from Odiham in just one hour.
“Now in Charwood which is in Surrey, here too, there was a fair old deluge, almost an inch in about 8 hours.
