NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Today was not a good day to go out for a stroll in the capital, unless you had galoshes and waterproof trousers.
The heavens opened and heavy rain pounded London, leaving roads like puddles and sending people sheltering into nearby shops.
A yellow weather warning was in place for much of the south east of England, with persistent rain that could lead to houses and businesses flooding and public transport being disrupted.
An area stretching from Chichester in West Sussex, to Canterbury in Kent saw the downpours, and although the warning has now been lifted, more rain is still to come this week.
