With 12 hours of rain still expected is going to be worrying for people in cumbria tonight.

[Backtrack]

Lol,

would you believe me if I said it's been a virtually dry day?

Well it has.

I believe you. It's amazing how a few miles makes all the difference.

Dreadful day in the Upper Eden valley. Kirkby Stephen AWS is up to 111mm. There's a good chance that this event will exceed even 2005 for rainfall event in the Upper Eden area.

Here in Teesdale 49.8mm so far today, here there isnt even a weather advisory. Meto are a shameful at times, lack of geographical knowledge

also adding a further 6+ hours for all the rain on the hills to come down that adds to a furthur 18 hours to rivers reach there peak, do you know the height of carlisles rivers havent seen them today and want to know what theyre like?

River levels in catchement of the Eden.

I would imagine rain gauge at Moorland Cottage about 10 miles of K/S will have easily exceed totals for 2005 event by now.

It looks like the Lune/Eden will be worse effected.

I aint i was gonna drive down and see, however i had abit of a drinking session so not sure. Still the roads are like rivers, if you do go by any rivers mate let me know.

Tuc do you really think there will be more rain than 2005.

For the Upper Eden/Lune catchments yes. This doesn't mean the Eden by the time it reached Carlisle will rise as high because the Eamont and Pettril etc haven't been as effected as bad unlike 2005.

Yes i have noticed this the caldew and the pettirl don't seem as high, i suppose the eden can only take so much though before it pushes back?

but the eden at linstock is only 1.5 metres from record levels and rivers wont reach there peak until early evening tommorow and that is also when high tide strikes im probably wrong but explain how please

[itsnowjoke]

[Tucco]

The Lake District dome effect has kicked in the last 30 mins. Very heavy rain central lakes.

i suspect the other 2 rivers might follow the flood warning stage soon, they normally follow the eden lol.

[peterf]

hows it going up there folks?

[Thunder Snow]

The eden is on flood warning, and i still have some heavy rain

[itsnowjoke]

been on model output thread and had my post deleted, obviously my thoughts and opinions dont count, i just pointed out that bickering over the weather wont change it and that if you say something often enough wont make it come true, then they deleted my post charming.

[Thunder Snow]

Possible goodnews the caldew may have peaked http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/riverlevels/120711.aspx?stationId=5039 starting to go down

whats still up in the hills?

[carlisle 321]

Possible goodnews the caldew may have peaked http://www.environme...?stationId=5039 starting to go down

unfortunatly it is likely to start to go up again due to the intensity of the rain in the northern lakes in the last few hours not peaked yet and unlikely to for a good few hours yet

[peterf]

iv'e been a bit concerned for the last few days, regards certain parts.hope you are all ok peter.

[Spurry]

Max of 15.1 c here today...it's never felt that warm due to the wind and rain but nevertheless it's still pretty remarkable..anybody have any idea of what the record max temp for January is in these parts
