Storm Babet has brought significant rainfall for the West Midlands through the past 24 hours.
If we take the Met Office weather station at Shawbury, in Shropshire, for example, 43mm of rainfall has been recorded since 15:00 yesterday – that’s more than an inch-and-a-half, and 16mm of that fell in three hours this morning.
For context, the average monthly rainfall there for this time of year is 68mm.
There are still two Met Office weather warnings in place across the region - an Amber and a Yellow one - with heavy rain expected to continue across the north Midlands through the afternoon.
It will ease tonight and into the weekend though.
