Met Office have put out a warning of possible flooding for later this
week, and looking at the surface chart there seems some similarity with
the Easter 1998 floods for Northampton - converging fronts lying east
to west
though wet conditions previous to the downpours occured there. We had a
call of a possible 60mm on the Countryfile forecast, it will be
interesting to see where the highest totals will be.

Plenty of rain about 0400-0600(ish) in Leeds this morning, my first
water butt nearly full too. Osmondthorpe

down the Lane got 12.7mm, my gauge in Ilkley, 20 miles away, got only 4mm.

Whereas here we haven't had a drop of rain so far this month...
