When will the rain stop in Portsmouth? Here's what the latest forecast says

There has been plenty of rain following the brief heatwave in the middle of July, when temperatures reached a high of 29C.

Portsmouth has seen spells of flash flooding in Northern Parade as well as repeated spells of flooding in Salisbury Road, Cosham.

The heavy rain caused Wickham Festival to be turned into a ‘mudpit’ as it kicked off last week.

The weekend saw more spells of rain across the city and the surrounding areas.

But will the rain continue this week?
