The Met Office said 35.6mm of rain fell in Woodhouse Mill, near Sheffield, between 6pm and 7pm on Sunday (18 June). In June, the entire UK averages around 12 days of rain - 77mm.

But tomorrow could see heavy rain return. Light showers are forecast from 6am on Tuesday, and to continue until 8am, when they are expected to turn to heavy rain.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service yesterday released a reminder to only call 999 if you’re in immediate danger after receiving ‘a large number of calls’ regarding leaks and flooding due to the weather yesterday.

Flood warnings were issued in 27 areas of the UK yesterday. But Sheffield is not among the areas which are covered by those warnings.

Most of the country was covered by rain or thunderstorms until the end of Sunday. Marco Petagna, a Met Office forecaster, said: “Half a month’s of rain has fallen in one hour in one location, in quite a few spots we’re seeing 15-20mm, even 30mm in an hour. There’s been quite a few storms embedded within that area of northern England, Northern Ireland and one or two in parts of Wales.

“It’s pretty torrential, 25 to 35mm in an hour is certainly going to cause some flooding problems, and there’s still potentially bad conditions to come.”
