    River levels of the sheaf, porter, river Loxley are beginning to drop now. Looks like the Don will peak well below the 2007 levels. We been lucky that October until this point had been dry.  Otherwise it would be 2007 plus.

    Indeed - hopefully we  don't see too manty major rain events for the rest of this autumn! Looks unsettled to the end of the month at least!

    Now hit 40mm as per the amber warning minimum and rain is pepping up. Reckon we'll hit 50mm - a pretty soggy day!

    River Hipper in Chesterfield has now topped the record levels of June 2007. Never though I'd see the day that some of those records fell but here we are, and we still have persistent heavy rain. All stations in the town look likely to break their all time level record. 

    Will be interesting to see how high it goes - at least another couple of hours of heavy rain according to the radar, and even after that rain will continue into the evening,. Rush hour will be fun!

    Some of the significant river gauges that the Environment agency operates are connected to their own model to predict the measurements. Believe it just uses the UKV for predicted rainfall, so it's very dependent on what that is showing to predict the expected amounts at those stations.

     

    Think it's only a handful of stations on the Calder and the Don in our region have the functionality.

    That is 2m above the previous record. Got to hope now the model is throwing a wobbly.

     

    Predicted levels have dropped a bit with the latest UKV update. Will be a nowcast, though with amber warnings some localised flooding definitely seems likely in prone places!

    Nope not the day it flooded we got just over 65mm in 48 hours between the 24th and 25th. To the north of us more.  The wettest spell was from the 13th to the 15th when 124.1mm fell. Ironically it didn't flood then. However it carried on raining most days in-between with another 36mm added.  Western park recorded 283mm  for the month as they caught more Thunderstorms than we did.

    Thanks, so the ground would have bene very saturated! 

    Will be interesting to see how close to reality those forecast river levels are. You'd think EA would be warning
