Torrential downpours and high winds are set to continue to batter Britain for the rest of this week, forecasters have warned.
The miserable weather of the last two days looks set to remain, after it caused travel disruption on roads and rails yesterday.
And heavy rain is expected to return to London on Wednesday after a break from the wet weather today.
A spokesman for MeteoGroup forecasters said: "There was some heavy rain this morning in the south east of England and there will be a band of rain stretching from the south east to the north west and moving northwards today. There will be a few heavy bursts of rain but nothing to be too concerned about.
"The north east of Scotland will see a band of rain sitting across it throughout much of the day too, which will be heavy at times. It is a bit gusty in the same area with winds up to 60 miles per hour.
"For the rest of the UK it is a bit of a mixture - there will be a few showers around but in between there will be some sunny spells in parts of the country.
"It's staying unsettled over the next few days with western areas most likely to see heavy showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures are about average for this time of year though. More of what we would expect of October really."
