Flash flooding and travel disruptions if heavy rain falls overnight

More flooding is possible on Friday as rivers will continue to rise after the rain clears.

National Highways Network Manager Stephen Basterfield said people expecting to travel by car should adjust their driving habits and take extra care.

Some areas where the heaviest rain was expected overnight have already experienced record rainfall this month in September.

Parts of Bedfordshire and Oxfordshire in particular saw more than three times as much rain as normal in September.

It is expected to clear later on Friday and the forecast is drier for the weekend, with some less heavy rain expected.

Temperatures are expected to drop across the country. BBC Weather is monitoring the prospect of more wet and windy weather later on Sunday and Monday.
