Hello everyone,

Torrential rain has paralyzed Southeast England and London, the capital city, since yesterday. Heavy flooding and violent thunderstorm have greatly disturbed land a railway traffic. Significant damages have also been reported.

Many homes and businesses have been flooded and cars trapped by water. Some buildings have also been hit by lightning. The London Fire Brigade have received not less than 300 calls from 1.30 am to 3 am this Thursday, June 23.

Latest forecasts show that the weather is not likely to improve for the time being. Heavy rain and flash floods are expected in the next few hours, particularly in Essex and London.

If you are on the spot, feel free to inform us about the current weather conditions.
