Rain weather warning as Kent hit by deluge

Kent could be hit with more flooding this morning - as rain lashes the county.

A yellow weather warning for heavy rain was in place until 8.30am, with forecasters saying it will also be very windy on the coast.

Various flood warnings are still in place for the county - covering the rivers Bourne, Teise, Stour, Medway and Beult.

In Maidstone, one lane of the one-way system was under water today after a rush hour deluge.

It is, however, set to get brighter from the west during the morning, with sunny intervals following.

Meanwhile, temperatures are set to take a dip next week, with snow set to hit parts of the UK next week.

The Met Office says the temperature will drop dramatically, with some sub-zero recordings.

The colder weather will hit Scotland on Monday, before spreading into the south of England by the middle of the week.

A giant Arctic air mass is believed to be behind the severe drop in temperatures, with snow causing misery by falling on flooded ground in parts of the country.
