They were supposed to be enjoying  a well-earned break and perhaps  hoping to catch some early summer sunshine. But instead, hundreds of holidaymakers had to be rescued by the emergency services from a June monsoon yesterday.

At least 150 people were evacuated from holiday caravans and homes as the heavens opened.

The freak floods cut off villages and roads in Ceredigion, Mid-Wales, swamping holiday parks and residential streets and leaving some people trapped in upstairs rooms.

Paul Mott, senior forecaster with MeteoGroup, said in the 24 hours to 7am yesterday even more - an incredible 150mm (or 6in) - fell in the hills of central and eastern Ceredigion.

 

He said the average amount of rain for the whole month of June in that area is nearer just under three inches or (70mm).

'That's what's caused the problem, all the rainwater has funnelled into the rivers, causing flooding in river valleys,' he said.

Royal Air Force Sea King helicopters, inshore life boats and fire service rescue boats were called to the Riverside Caravan Park in Llandre, Bow Street, near Aberystwyth, one of the most severely-affected sites where 'numerous people' needed help.

The monsoon-like rainfall which has swept across parts of Britain in the past week is set to continue for most of the weekend, as forecasters predicted thundery showers in what is becoming a soggy summer.
