Please pay attention if you are in the relevant areas. It does look potentially very nasty, with perhaps 70-100mm of rain falling in places.

Oh poo,that is us.The school were meant to be camping on one of our fields overnight,but have postponed it until September.We were meant to be at a gymkhana on Saturday,which will be unlikely to go ahead.

I've had enough of this rotten weather.

It is awful :( must be extra hard work looking after horses too.

Yes,especially as our are both grey! Luckily the new one coming in a week or two is blue roan,so she won't show the dirt as much.

Our village has been issued with a flood warning! Eeek!

Just had to look up blue roan, very pretty :)

Viva, is it likely to affect your property? I hope not.

I'm about 200yds from a canal. There's a big flood defence wall thingy so I hope not.

If it did look worrying you can make emergency sand bags out of carrier bags and soil (had to do that in 2007), but hopefully you'll be ok!

running bit behind so no time for an update but be prepared!

met office very large area under amber alert.

It looks pretty severe tbh.

Its raining here in midlands under amber alert. not too heavy at the minute.

SW england may also end up with an amber warning by tomorrow.

Heavy rain woke us in the early hours-so heavy that it set DH's car alarm off.

Another days' work lost.

:(
will have some lunch and look at the latest situation.

sw go into amber warning

BBC News about flooding (DH was supposed to be going to the racing at Warwick today and wasn't surprised when it was called off.) It's awful here and hasn't stopped all day.

How's it going for all in the warni g areas?

South Derbyshire here, and it hasn't stopped raining. The town centre has flooded across the pedestrian precinct and some roads, too. We're on heavy clay, so it can't sink in to the ground at this volume. I walked the dog this morning, and the reservoir was lapping across the footpath.

I live in South Yorkshire and had to rescue DD from school. I floated through some massive lakes puddles to get there and the school car park was ankle deep in water. We have no trains and some of our buses are having to take alternative routes. Several local events and a massive music festival have been cancelled. It is 2007 all over again

Bunbaker, you are absolutely right, it does feel like 2007. It sounds awful up there.
Down here there's been steady rain for most of the day but only had 4.8mm

It's rained here constantly since first thing this morning. It's varied between torrential and a steady drizzle.

Every thing and every one is sodden - but no flooding locally.

We have loads of roads affected by flooding. No trains until further notice and loads of other Northern Rail services severely disrupted in this area. It has finally stopped raining!

RED WARNING just been issued for the South West tonight.

Our menage and fields have standing water on them,the farmer opposite is moving all his sheep away from the brook as the field has flooded and they are in danger of being cut off by the water.

I've lost another days'work and the DDs won't be going to the gymkhana that we had planned to attend.The rain stopped about an hour ago here,but more is forecast.

I don't understand why we can fart about in outer space and send robots to Mars,but can't shift the sodding jet stream.

Thank you for posting this mirage - that is pretty grave really. What a nightmare.

yellow warnings extended much further across the uk too

live flood alert system seems to be creaking under the pressure of visitors.
