It comes as a yellow thunderstorm warning was issued for the county on Sunday by the Met Office. 

The Met Office said: "Within the warning area, 15-25 mm of rain is expected quite widely, much of this falling within two or three hours at any given place."

Despite the wet weather over the weekend, temperatures are expected to rise again this week. 

Some parts of the county are forecast to reach 28C on Wednesday.
