A yellow weather warning has been issued for London and for areas in the South East of England, which includes Buckinghamshire.
Over the last few days, certain parts of the county and beyond have been disrupted with heavy rain, which has impacted the roads, as traffic jams were caused and potholes were hidden due to the sudden downfall.
And on September 14, the Met Office has confirmed that the rain is expected to continue throughout the day.
