More flooding in Oxfordshire is expected after a major weather warning was given.
The Met Office issued a yellow rain warning on Wednesday morning for the rest of the week with more downpours expected in the county.
Heavy rainfall on Sunday night into Monday caused mass floods before more rain on Monday night into Tuesday only served to add to the problems.
Now it is expected that the floods will return once more after the yellow weather warning was served between 5pm on Thursday and 10am on Friday.
