The Met Office had been expecting up to 100mm of rain on last night - the equivalent of one month's worth - but the most recorded was 21.8mm in Billinge Hill, Merseyside. Amy Bokota, senior operational meteorologist, said the lower recording could have been due to where the gauges fell - and said areas in the North West would still have seen torrential rain and hail, even if other areas close by enjoyed clear skies.
Meanwhile, a road in Worcestershire was closed on last night when a tree came down following heavy rain - bringing a power line with it.
