Heavy rainfall is set to continue battering the UK after floods hit swathes of the country amid torrential downpours.
Flooding sparked disruption on roads in parts of southern England last night, with drivers being warned of more severe conditions on Friday.
A yellow weather warning remained in place for much of southern England overnight and is not expected to be lifted until midday.
Some 30 flood warnings were in place for England on Thursday evening, alongside 189 flood alerts, which warn flooding is possible.
The Environment Agency said it was monitoring the situation and the public were advised to remain vigilant.
The village of Cardinham in Cornwall saw 52mm of rainfall over the past 36 hours while Bastreet Downs got 53mm.
While the weather alert remained in place, forecasters predicted the situation in Cornwall would improve.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: "There will be some showers around but nowhere near as much rain as today."
He added: "More rain is coming from the south through the night and tomorrow.
"Most of the rain will be in the eastern part, eastern England and Scotland, gradually improving throughout the day.
"It does look as we head into next week that the weather will turn drier."
