From the rainfall radar, there seems to be plenty of heavy rain around
on the high ground of Cornwall and North Devon this afternoon, looks somewhat of a risk of flooding in places but no mention of this on the Met office website and no warnings are out. Perhaps I am mis-reading the signs but it does look ominous for some places. -- Dave Fareham |

Big drops of rain from teh showers today on dartmoor, but only 5mm rain here in Haytor, which is essentially "drizzle" for up here. The ground is still very firm and the soil can take it. My garden is wet but has not been saturated for many weeks, that'll change during the autumn when the proper rains start. Will -- |

I posted because I was concerned about my grandkids who are up at neaby Woolacombe, so I had warned them to keep an eye open for possible floods if out and about. I'm glad I did after seeing the 24 hour rainfall total at Chivenor, we don't get rain like that back in Fareham! Just 0.2 mm here today. -- Dave Fareham |
