My weather station has recorded over 100mm of rain, falling continuously since about 10AM yesterday. 2007, when we had the Great Flood in July, I recorded about 90mm on 20th. Mind you that 90+mm fell in about seven hours. 

I'm expecting to see the Evenlode well flooded tomorrow, as the water drains into the river. Indeed the Environment Agency gauge at Shipton is at about flood level. How high the river will reach isn't easy to say, but likely nowhere near the peak of July 2007.
