Wetter in Lancaster! Kind of.

I was up in the Lancaster area on Monday and we had quite serious
flooding in places in the town and its environs, having to abandon a
planned trip to the caves near Ingleton - the road became a river.

It felt like an "over 2 inch" 24 hour event centred on the overnight
period, and this was supported by the rainfall radar accumulation maps
on Netweather for the 24 hours ended at 11 am on Monday... 50mm in
Lancaster and ~75mm a few miles to its east. Squelch. The locals were
getting a bit worried about having another damaging flood like last
December at one point, and the damage from that up there (and the
Lakes) has not yet been fully repaired.

The contrast between a wet, cloudy and fairly cool Monday and a very
warm and sunny Tuesday on nearby Morecambe beach can rarely have been
more dramatic.
