70mm of rain over the last 7 days in Teignmouth and lots more to come before the weekend. weather warnings in place Thurs/Fri for more rain and nothing in the outlook to suggest the threat of rain will ease over the next 10 days. The ground is getting very wet and I know we aren't the wettest area too. Flood warnings beginning to stack up. Got to be some flooding/landslip problems to come before November in the SW/S.wales and perhaps other areas too, unfortunately.

Hi, David,
The north-east rain shadow, great isn't it (:0)
Not reached our October average rainfall here yet either. Could do with some sunshine mind!
Best wishes,
