Merseyside was battered by heavy rain today as roads were flooded and closed.
At around lunchtime today heavy rain struck Liverpool and parts of Merseyside as the Met Office published multiple flood warnings throughout England. Shoppers were spotted fighting through rain and floodwater, and at a Sainsbury's in Upton cars were forced to struggle through a car park submerged in water.
Pictures taken by the ECHO show parked cars sat in inches of water at the supermarket. Elsewhere a lane on the M53 motorway was closed due to flooding, from junction 2A (Upton) to Junction 2 (Moreton Spur).
