Five alerts for possible flooding are in place for the River Soar in Lancashire, Lower Dove Brooks in Staffordshire, River Cole and Dorcan Brook in Swindon, River Maun in Nottinghamshire and River Plym and Tory Brook in Devon.

A yellow thunderstorm warning from the Met Office expired at 4am without any significant disruption.

The Met Office says the conditions will clear up for many this morning before showers return later for some south and central parts.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected to return in the evening moving northwards across much of the UK.
