Another Boscastle or Lynmouth flash flood event must be a possibility
today. No mention by the media though - well none that I have heard.

I have to admit that I was caught out by events in this spell but than
I was relying on stuff written in stone.

There's certainly a chance. I've studied most of the intense Cornish
summer north coast events of the last 20 years. There's plenty of
them, and most originally form near Tintagel Head & Trevose Head. They
are virtually all sparked off by the sea breeze setting in against a
gentle unstable SSW-SE flow, which we curently have. I think the 3 way
convergence near headlands plays a part. I was lucky enbough to see
one from it's formation - www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/SrMerrynStorm.PDF
Highest rainfall around 100mm near St Merryn west of Padstow.

I also had a good view of some decaying intense north coast showers
during a balloon fligh in August 2003.

I wouldn't live at the bottom of Boscastle, severe flooding there is
much more frequent than the EA seem to think. The report following the
last flood seemd to combine both 1950's events into 1 - possibly
because one missed all the official rain gauges.

We visited Boscastle last year. We'd seen the media reports but it's not
until you see the actual site that it's possible to get some
understanding of what it must have been like - even so it's still
difficult.

Flash warning now out for Devon, Dorset, Somerset and much of South
and West Wales. The warnings are out earlier than they were published
yesterday. Storms are already building by the look of the weather
radar, over Dartmoor and South Wales.
