Thunderstorms are expected to dampen Platinum Jubilee festivities this weekend, with the Met Office issuing a weather warning for southern England.
It comes after homes and businesses were left damaged after more than 9cm of rain fell on a Welsh seaside village in just six hours.
Several houses and shops sustained damage, while roads were left impassable due to flooding. Russell Roster, owner of Criccieth Tackle Box, said: "Carpets are sodden. What stock was on the floor is wet. Came through the flat roof at the back and tripped the electric. Marian Davies, 60, said she had been sunbathing in a nearby town and the downpour occurred suddenly in the 15 minutes it took her to travel to Criccieth.
