Heavy rain just starting now. Was supposed to be going out for birthday drinks but I think I will have to take a "rain check"

[khodds]

Its definately still forming, looking at the rada the really heavy stuff is over devon / cornwall and Dorset into Somerset. Brace yourselves! The roads in my area are awful and that's before tonights lot. There were landslides on the way to Mums house after Wednesdays lot - the village was cut off for a time as the river burst its banks.

Seems awful but I can't wait to get out in it tomorrow with my camera!

Still a lot of rain to come looking at the Meto radar;

[tinybill]

[Mesoscale]

It feels almost dry here today with our meagre 26mm

After that heavy pulse that went through it looks like we are in light ppn from here on so maybe its the back end of the worst?

Tweets are showing a severe flood warning for Polperro... Doesn't sound good. Lovely little village.

Can anyone tell whether somerset has had the worst of it? By running the radar loop it looks like we have, but I can't tell if the heavy rain ofer Devon and Cornwall is coming this way or will go over Wales?

[Costa Del Fal]

Very heavy rain this afternoon in Cornwall. Major travel disruption. A39 between Truro and Falmouth closed, no trains between Truro and Falmouth, flooding in Gweek, Penryn, Devoran, Bissoe and near Culdrose Airfield.

I think we have seen the worst of it now... looks light and patchy from now on unless you live in cornwall and devon which looks like its got another few hours yet

Don't know if I'm happy or sad about this!

Been raining on and off all day. Heavy rain from around 3pm with really intense rain around 5pm, finally easing about half an hour ago. It's still raining but not so hard. I don't want to be going anywhere early tomorrow morning in this area

[Sainsbo]

The "intense rainfall" was shown on the radar going directly over Swindon.... Didn't get any heavier than 0.1mm/min. Very surprised at that.

[mrsmall]

It was torrential coming back up he a419 from Cirencester though just now. Mental!

[Somerset Squall]

Had some very heavy rain here over the last hour or so but I don't think we are done yet. That pulse over Devon looks like moving this way. 19.0mm so far. Which, as with most other people, is really not needed. Been cut off in my village since thursday, and it looks like I may be cut off for at least the first half of next week going on this rate, possibly longer!

Where in Swindon are you?...I assure you it was torrential...I drove back from Haydon Wick to Lyneham and despite it being less than 10 miles, it was one of the most unpleasant driving experiences I've had

Wow, really? I'm maybe a mile, two miles max from Haydon Wick, and it's been drizzly the whole time! :S

[Cakie]

I was wrong about the rain getting better. I just wasn't in the penthouse suite to hear it. Still really heavy
