Not one drop has fallen though it was 'promised' last night.

About 8 mm overnight up here. Still raining and the radar shows

We must have had about 5 minutes of light drizzle just after lunch but
the clouds are piling up again now.

Now up to 37 mm @ 2000. Still raining... 7 C, wind F4 to F5, chill
between 0 and -5 C.

South Tyne level up to the "flooding is possible" point at 1830. So
risen about 3'6" in the 4.5 hours since 1400 when it really started
to rise.

Raymond just came in and told me about this. What IS it about us that
we can't manage what we know is likely to happen. I hope everyone
stays safe. And to be honest, it feels utterly ridiculous having to
hope for that.
