Major flooding has left an Oxford industrial estate car park looking like a swimming pool.
An exceptional amount of rainfall across Oxfordshire on Sunday night into Monday morning has caused flooding across the county.
This has in turn resulted in widespread disruptions including nine confirmed school closures so far today (September 23) and bus services being diverted.
The surface water has caused problems across Oxford too with several car parks in the city being left largely unusable.

Booker Wholesale in Ferry Hinksey Road in Osney Mead was left resembling more of a swimming pool than a car park with a few vehicles left parked at the far ends away from the massive pools of water.
This comes as an amber weather warning has been issued by the Met Office until 9pm today.
Initially, the flooding covered parts of west and north Oxfordshire, however this morning it was updated to cover the entire county.
