From the Guardian.

In London and parts of the south-east many were forced to brave torrential rain and navigated flooded streets to have their say.

Some polling stations were forced to close and relocate as the equivalent of one month’s rain fell overnight in the capital.

Kingston upon Thames council, in south-west London, relocated two polling stations in Chessington and New Malden. Local residents reported that polling stations in Barking and Newham in east London were difficult to access because of flood water.

The weather did not appear to have deterred the determined. Pictures posted on social media showed plenty of queues.
One lightning strike hit less than 500 feet away, going by the less than half a second gap between lightning and thunder. Car alarms outside were also set off by said strike.
