Heavy storms across the UK have delivered record rainfall in concentrated windows, forcing the Met Office to maintain red warnings in multiple regions while emergency services activate high-priority flood response protocols.
The storm system developed over the North Atlantic before tracking into western and central England, producing rainfall totals that exceeded seasonal averages within hours rather than days.
