Well if we carry on this way, we'll be needing to build an ark, never mind worrying about records!
The Met Office are expecting a further period of persistent and locally heavy rain on Sunday night and during Monday. The heaviest rain is expected across the northern half of England and north Wales with widespread rainfall amounts of 25 to 30 mm and locally 40 to 80 mm, along with a risk of up to 100 mm over hills. Localised flooding is likely where ground is already saturated and there could be some disruption to transport networks. This warning will be updated by 1200 on Saturday 19th January 2008.
I think this will tip us over the edge across Yorks and Lincs, I just hope mother nature is kind to us until then.
