The North Downs between Kent and Surrey could see between 60-80mm of rain, compared to the April average for the area of 50mm, she added.

Clare Dinnis, flood duty manager for the Environment Agency, said: "Widespread heavy rain from Sunday evening and through Monday could lead to flooding from surface water and rivers in parts of south, south-east and central England.

"We expect some travel disruption during Monday morning's rush-hour. We advise people to listen to their local radio stations and remember not to drive through flood water as just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car."

The Yorkshire coast is expected to bear the brunt of the worst of the weather as the storms move upward from the southeast later today.

There is, however, hope for the coming week as clearer skies and lighter winds are predicted... even if the showers are set to remain.
