The conditions have caused chaos for drivers and left car parks across the county out of action - including the Stour Centre car park in Ashford and the M&S car park in Canterbury.

In addition a caravan park has been evacuated for the second time in three weeks.

The banks of the Royal Military Canal in Hythe are also bursting.
