On the Up Again

What with all of yesterdays rain the rivers have unsurprisingly responded very quickly and are on the rise again, very quickly on the rise this time.

With the ground so sodden the water has nowhere to go and is just running off straight into the watercourses and rivers with the resulting fast increases in water levels and flows.

The level of the Fossdyke according to the EA river levels website rose very quickly yesterday but looks to have peaked and is some way short of the levels achieved this time last week. With only occasional light rain in the forecast between now and the weekend they should have the levels back down to normal again by the weekend on the Fossdyke. 

The rivers will be another story altogether and the water will just have to work it's way downstream in it's own time.
