Flash flooding

Flash flooding has caused travel chaos in parts of England as thunderstorms dumped almost half a month’s rain in some parts overnight.

A train from Milton Keynes to Euston has derailed near Watford Junction, but there are no reported injuries.

The worst-hit areas are across the east, south and south-east of England which all have amber warnings in place, according to the Met Office.

Commuters have been warned of severe disruption with more rain on the way.
