Derbyshire was hit with more rainfall in 24 hours than it normally receives in a single month, the Guardian has confirmed.
The Environment Agency’s gauge in Glossop, a market town on the edge of the Peak District, recorded 114mm of rain in the 24 hours up to 4am. Derbyshire receives an average of 90.7mm of rain for the month of November.
Good news for those affected by the flooding as the Met Office says rainfall is due to ease off today with little or none across the Midlands and north, bar the odd isolated shower.
Tomorrow a weather front will move from Wales towards the east of England but it will fizzle out by the evening.
