Yes you probably will.South West is due to keep this up until midnight(jst watching bbc news weather).I am okay thank you.Villages and roads to and from Wellington aren't good.

To those in Cornwall ,thinking of you..Sounds a nightmare.

Rain heavy still.

[Nights King]

Oh my word Ive never seen flooding like it on roads round here! Just drove back from the pub (only 2 ) and Some roads are impassable up here with rain now on a pivot and it has become very heavy!

[Andy Bown]

15 hours of persistent rain, thankfully most of it moderate at worst except for around 13.00 for a while and again a few hours ago. Currently only drizzling

but the radar suggests there's another heavy bout to come fairly soon from the WSW.

Looking at the fax chart from earlier there are something like 4 or 5 fronts mixed in with the LOW!

[Eskimo]

Coming from a guy who lives on the opposite side of the country, please stay safe guys!

Really coming down now. Quite worrying if we have anothert 4 hrs of it. God knows what we will wake up to. Stay safe everyone.

[A.J]

not looking good for us down in the SW....PPN is really wrapping around the LP centre and said mass is starting to push NEwards back into Somerset/Gloucester/Wilts......devon & cornwall have already be slammed by the PPN wraparound, still raining heavily there, but the good news (if there is any on a night like this) is that a clearance of sorts is moving into Cornwall & South Devon

I'm fine littlemissy - just concerned for everyone else now. Its mad, I love extreme weather, but when its actually here, its quite scary.

[A.J]

looking at the persistent echoes across east dartmoor, I'm also concerned about flooding along the River Dart & Teign....Newton Abbot & Totnes is particular

[JennyJane1]

Come over from EA thread, watching your weather problems on the news, hope you are all safe.

[Lyn-M]

I'm glad I emptied the rain gauge earlier on! Think it would have been overflowing in the morning!

[littlemissy]

Are we still due the winds as well?Or is it just the rain?

[AWD]

A couple of tweets from Ian Fergusson;

SOMERSET Heavy rain widespread currently: anticipate flooding to become a serious and dangerous issue now: follow @EnvAgencySW for guidance

BRISTOL, B&NES, S GLOS, GLOS, WILTS (esp W/NW) Heavy rain tracking NE will yield further flooding threat in some areas: follow @EnvAgencySW

Roads around my area are flooded.

[Somerset Squall]

Rainband, why must you pivot here!!!!!! LOL

Are we still due the winds as well?Or is it just the rain?

The winds should come in the early hours as the rain begins to clear. Well that's my understanding of it anyway.

[AWD]

I'm sure when the cold weather sets in next week, there won't be any PPN within 100 miles of the SW.

[Bristawl Si]

I'm sure when the cold weather sets in next week, there won't be any PPN within 100 miles of the SW.

Hope you're wrong AWD.

My hunch says we're in for a lot of snow fun & games in 1st few days of December.

Bought snow boots at clarks village today - prob jinxed it for us for the winter! LOL

[Frosty_wsm]

Was thinking that myself, bet we never have snow falling all day like we've had today with the rain and its still chucking it down and the radar shows alot more to come! Not good with all the flooding in the sw :/

[Deep Channel low]

Just stopped raining now after over 11hrs of heavy rain, it's been like being subjected to water torture with the torrents pouring off next doors gutters, the slience now is golden. Good luck upstream, it will stop evantually

I hope I'm wrong too but Sod's law that will happen. lol.

To be fair, I'm looking forward to it. There is potential if things go right, even for us down in the SW. Not often we even get a sniff of snow down here before Christmas.

Could do with some frosty nights too, hopefully harden the ground up a bit.

[Nights King]

Oh my god I have a river going down the road that i come out on! Its incredible to see to be honest as i have never seen flooding this close to home being high up! It must be bad lower down below the hills!
