Flood chaos after torrential rain

Torrential downpours drenched vast areas of Britain, leading to widespread flooding and travel chaos.
An eerie darkness descended during the height of the monsoon-like outburst, with some areas getting as much as four to five inches of rain in one day - twice the average for the whole of July.

Southern and south west England bore the brunt of the bad weather which swept up through France.

In Dorset, drivers were stranded and sewage spilled on to the streets after floods in Bournemouth and Poole.

In Verwood we were lucky that we only experienced light showers through the day mixed with clear sunny spells.
