Trains have been cancelled in and around London after entire railway tracks were completely submerged by flood water. This month is on track to be the wettest June on record, with more than a month's worth of rain falling in some parts of the country on Monday.

North-eastern parts of England and the midlands are expected to bear the brunt of the downpours on Tuesday, with a yellow warning in place until midnight.

The Met Office issued a series of weather warnings as heavy rain drenched much of England and Wales on Monday.

The severe weather is set to continue all week, with roads and the rail network expected to be disrupted.

A total of 31 flood alerts - which mean flooding is possible - are in place across the country.
