Graham the roads are atrocious round here tonight. Debris and water everywhere.
Apart from when we get snow I have never seen the roads so bad in wet
conditions, it's like the land cannot take any more water and every drop of rain
is running away. If this wet spell continues then it is going to get very
serious in parts of Devon.

Good for some- cavers! The increased flow will clear the foul air and
shift farmyard pollution in some caves on the Mendips. Low flow rates
have made certain caves' disappointing' recently.
Anyway, I gather pressure will build somewhat this weekend and steer
any beefy depressions further north.
