Parts of England and Wales were lashed by severe weather in July, with flooding affecting thousands of homes and leaving many without water. Heavy rain on 20 July led to flash floods and saw river levels rise, affecting swathes of central and western England. Here is a round-up of the situation in the worst-affected areas.
Severe flood warnings were issued for the River Great Ouse from Turvey to Sharnbrook, Sharnbrook to Bedford, and from Bedford to Offord in Cambridgeshire.
Police also closed five bridges along the river. And in Bedford a man died in hospital, three days after being pulled from the river.
But the Environment Agency said peak levels had been lower than in previous flooding incidents and most properties escaped damage.
