<p>Weather warnings are in place for parts of Scotland, north Wales and the north-east and north-west of England.</p>
<p>The Met Office tweeted: “Amber and yellow warnings are in force for Thursday morning, so conditions on the roads will be treacherous for some with surface water flooding and intense rainfall.”</p>
<p>The Met Office said Chillingham in Northumberland saw nearly 1cm of rainfall in the space of an hour on Thursday morning.</p>
<p>The village had seen 73mm of rainfall over a 28-hour period – more than the 66.4mm average for the whole of June.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Waddington in Lincolnshire saw nearly 40mm fall over a period of 14 hours, while over the same period Coleshill in Warwickshire saw 30mm fall and 31mm was seen at Astwood Bank in Worcestershire.</p>
<p>More than 90 flood warnings and alerts were in place across England.</p>
<p>Nottingham City Transport said many roads had been affected by standing water and floods while the Environment Agency said a number of people had to be rescued in the city after getting stuck driving through flood water.</p>

<p>Operations manager Kelly Golds tweeted: “So far tonight in #Nottingham 18 people have had to be rescued by emergency services after getting stuck driving through flood water. Just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car. #floodaware”</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) said it was advising residents in the village of Lambley to stay indoors due to floodwater.</p>

<p>Newark MP Robert Jenrick also said properties had been flooded in the village of Lowdham and Southwell.</p>
<p>And Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service said three people had to be rescued from a car stuck in a ford in a village near Sutton Coldfield late on Wednesday night.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Environment Agency officials put up flood barriers in Northwich amid concerns over the level of the River Weaver.</p>
<p>Rail users were hit by cancellations and delays on Wednesday as torrential rain struck England, Scotland and Wales.</p>
<p>Met Office meteorologist Luke Miall warned that the wet weather would continue to blight parts of the country on Thursday.</p>
<p>He said: “As this system pushes up from the South East through the course of the night, it will re-intensify and continue through much of Thursday.”</p>
<p>Mr Miall said parts of south-east Scotland could see up to 100mm of rain, with an amber alert in place warning of heavy downpours.</p>

<p>According to the Met Office, the wettest ever June for the UK as a whole was in 2012 when an average of 149mm of rain fell.</p>
<p>Mr Miall said this month’s rainfall so far was “still a long way off” breaking that record.</p>
<p>He explained that following a dry summer and winter river levels across the country were low, meaning much of the current flooding was surface water flooding that could potentially retreat quickly.</p>
<p>But by the end of Thursday, flooding would increasingly be the consequence of cumulative rainfall, he added.</p>

<p>There are currently no Met Office weather warnings in place for Friday and the weekend, with conditions forecast to be calmer.</p>
<p>The weather is expected to be drier, warmer and sunnier, but with the risk of heavy and thundery showers in some places.</p>
