Areas of southern, central and eastern England were hit with “lively and active showers” on Thursday, Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge said.

Herefordshire and Worcestershire councils said several schools had closed because of rising flood levels and “treacherous road conditions”.

Around 33mm of rain was recorded in Broadstairs, Kent, with western Scotland all the way down to Cornwall experiencing hail and showers.

The strongest winds pounded the English Channel, with 63mph recorded on Portland in Dorset and 59mph on the Isle of Wight.
