Some areas saw a month’s worth of rainfall in 24 hours.
A football pitch in London has collapsed and other parts of the United Kingdom have been submerged by flash floods after some areas saw a month’s worth of rainfall in 24 hours.
Roads were closed, some train lines in London were suspended and dozens of people reported their houses being submerged as parts of central and southern England saw about 60 to 80 millimetres of rainfall on Monday.
A few locations were expected to be hit by more than 120 mm of rain, weather forecasters said.
In the capital, the London Fire Brigade said emergency responders received some 350 flood-related calls.
The service said these included rescuing people trapped in cars, assisting people from their homes and responding to flooding in underground train stations, roadways, homes and businesses.
At the Cherry Red Records Stadium, of EFL League Two side AFC Wimbledon, heavy rains appeared to have left a sinkhole in the pitch, resulting in the cancellation of a match scheduled on Tuesday.
