Record US flood leaves 26 dead
SUMMER is on hold for another week with more heavy rain, thunder and chilly winds forecast up to the start of July.
Britons hoping for a spot of sun will be disappointed, with grey skies and below-average temperatures making this week feel more like autumn.
Although it will be drier than last week, when downpours and flooding hit the UK, experts have warned not to hang up the brollies just yet.
There will be further rain in the coming days, while temperatures will hover around 70F (21C)) in the South and about 61F in the North.
Forecasters warned it could be the second week in July before the weather shows any signs of cheering up as hopes of a scorching summer dwindle. AT least 26 people have been killed in the US after devastating floods hit West Virginia.
President Barack Obama declared a major disaster after hundreds of residents had to be rescued from their homes in the state’s worst flooding for more than a century.
Mr Obama agreed to give aid to the worst-affected areas to pay for temporary housing and home repairs.
Four-year-old Edward McMillon and Emanuel Williams, eight, were among those killed in the flooding.
A total of 15 deaths struck the tiny town of Rainelle.
About 30,000 homes in West Virginia have been left without power. Up to 10 inches of rain fell in some areas.
