The scenes in Chemlsford show the traffic chaos that confronted drivers this afternoon but parts of London were just as badly hit:
A second round of torrential rain and flooding is expected to cause chaos during the evening rush hour after parts of the South East and London endured a deluge of water this morning.
Train companies are advising passengers to set off early on their journeys home as more lightning and thunderstorms are predicted.
Red "immediate action" warnings are in place for areas of Essex and the capital after around a month's rain fell in a few hours.
