LONDON, July 26 — Buses and cars were left stranded when roads across London flooded on Sunday, as repeated thunderstorms battered the British capital.
Social media users posted videos of partially submerged vehicles in southwest London, with more heavy rain set to fall as a band of thunderstorms made its way across southeast England. It warned there was a risk of lightning strikes and flooding, with up to 10 centimetres of rain forecast to fall in some areas, almost double the monthly average for July.
A driver, who gave his name as Eric, said passengers had to get off after his bus started taking on water.
