Again we find ourselves battling against floods in some parts of the country. The west is worst hit, with Cumbria and the North West bearing the brunt of it. Here in the North East, rivers burst their banks again locally, for the third time in 14 months.

Rainfall total at Ferryhill is up to 80mm, which is still about 30mm short of the highest for November here (Nov 2000). I suspect that figure might be beaten if the current weather type persists.

I really do feel for those who's homes are destroyed by flooding. I count my blessings that I live the top of a rather steep flood plane.

I live on top of a hill but still get threatened with flooding as the drains can't cope with a lot of water so it comes down the step into the garden. Once the garden is flooded, it comes in to my porch. Luckily, it has only happened twice before.

The fields at the bottom of the hill are flooded. The water at the front is the river. The water at the back is a field. There is another field flooded over to the left out of shot.

Now HUGE problems in Cumbria, with severe flooding, bridges collapsing and evacuations underway. There are reports of 8 feet of water in Cockermouth. For those people in Carlisle, the nightmare of 2005 has returned, although flood defences have mainly held firm this time. 125mm of rain fell in Keswick yesterday. 375mm in 36 hours being reported from Borrowdale.

Just been watching it on the news and thinking how lucky I am to be settling down to watch Children in Need while those poor people have lost their homes and possessions.

Numbers are yet to be ratified, but 314.4mm of rain in 24 hours at Seathwaite Farm in Borrowdale is a new all-time British record for a single day's rainfall. The previous highest was 279mm at Martinstown, Dorset on July 18th 1955. There was an article about it in the Martinstown Parish Magazine in April this year.
