A town in Wales has been hit by serious flooding after days of hot weather were broken with heavy downpours and lightning.
At around 3pm Aberyswyth in west Wales was hit by an intense period of rain.
Over the course of 20 minutes several centimetres hit the coastal town.
The deluge proved too much for part of Aberyswyth's drainage system, which overflowed.
Photos taken in the town show a large lake of water covering the streets and roads.
