Nayrouz News Agency :
Londoners have seen streets flooded by torrential streams and a
tube station being submerged under water as a heatwave in the UK capital
was replaced by heavy rains. Some people even had to abandon cars
stranded in flooded roads.
Earlier this week, the
British capital saw some of the hottest days of the year as the
temperatures rose over 30 degrees Celsius. Now, the heat seems to be the
least of the Londoners’ problems as some parts of the city were
submerged in water and resembled the alarming images from the massive
flooding which hit Germany and Belgium earlier this month.
Photos
and videos posted to social media on Sunday showed cars ploughing
through flooded streets while some roads looked more like turbulent
rivers. Some car owners had to abandon their vehicles that were caught
in the streams and almost fully submerged.
Others were stuck in their cars and emergency services used boats to rescue them as happened to one unfortunate motorist, who got stranded under a bridge in Worcester Park, Sutton.
