Read out article summing up the disruption here
The Met Office had issued a warning for potential heavy showers and thunderstorms from midday to 9pm today — and it has been borne out.
Watford Junction was shut for about an hour from around 3.17pm, with disruption and cancellations still impacting commuters.Roads including Radlett Road, Bushey Mill Lane, the A41, and Balmoral Road have been shut with Hertfordshire Constabulary warning motorists to generally avoid any large flooded areas.The force has apparently been experiencing “a high volume of 999 emergency calls involving cars being stuck in flooded roads in Watford”.
He added that urban areas with lots of concrete can be vulnerable to flash flooding as the rain hits surfaces such as pavements which cannot absorb heavy downpours, leaving them to flow into drains or roads.
