Environment agency issue flood warnings for over weekend

[Ohyoubadbadkitten]

environment agency
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.

Wondering where all the sand bags are looking at the news headlines- seem to remember a lot of prep of sandbags in 2007, I know that the individual areas have been hard to pinpoint, but in the areas where the environment agency have flood warnings out I hope that householders/ business owners know where to pick them up from.

Our sheep are in fields further along the same brook as my neighbours.We are just wellying up to go and see if they are ok.

Just seen the river Don at Meadowhall on Look North. It looks grim.

We have red alerts all over! Luckily we live on a hill.

Oddly enough, the North West where lots of rain is normal seems relatively OK. Squelchy underfoot but not actually paddling.

We've drains backing up in odd places and a few extra lakes forming in fields but not doing too bad here either.

Imminent alerts for local
Village just been issued here. (where ds1 attends school) I have never know a summer (ha ha) like it.

Was it not like this in 2007 where you are?

DD at NASS this weekend (Somerset) hope she is ok

I honestly don't remember. It must have been but I don't recall it being this soggy for this long.

How has it been overnight for people?

We are down to yellow now and we have trains running again. I hope it doesn't get too bad for those of you in the South West. Raging torrents of water are scary.

Sunny and breezy this morning in Leicestershire.

As for Mirage, sunny and breezy here in Leicester. I'm hoping it stays like this most of the day as we're idiotically having a barbecue for for DD1s birthday (so different from the day she was born 13 years ago ~ hot and sunny it was then!)

Some worrying pictures from the SW on News24 this morning . Bit more here.

Parts of Edinburgh are flooded.... Flood alerts in various places next to the Water of Leith and Almond rivers and parts of the bypass shut.

T in the Park can't be much fun.

I'm in Cornwall now and it's fine here but very odd combination of warm and foggy.

We're in Perranporth but I think the real problems are going to be Devon and Dorset. It looks bad there.

Sainsburys have just delivered a monster holiday shop and we're walking down to the beach this afternoon so I'm happy!

Greater Manchester, Tameside. Dry here, a mix of cloudy and sunny intervals.

Standing water on the cricket pitches as I went past to football training today - looks like cricket coaching will be cancelled again.

I have washing out on the line today!!!

Not any more. I have just dashed out to rescue it from the rain.

It's been ok here today - dry and frequent sunny spells.

Coming back from Bolton a short while ago, I could see clouds building to the south and the east, but they haven't got here yet.

Was v hot & sunny earlier, really pouring down now.cumbria

latest news particularly bad in parts of Dorset ande Devon.
