Heavy rain caused flash flooding in parts of Cornwall, England, on Monday August 15, as official warnings for rain and thunderstorms were issued for much of the country with localized flooding and travel disruption expected.

The Met Office issued an amber thunderstorm warning for Cornwall on Monday as videos on social media showed flooding in the area.
