The sun shone all day Wednesday but made no appearance whatsoever today. The forecast was for rain in the form of showers all day. Typically for us this meant just 0.6mm of rain in one shower around 18:00. We made a visit to Rothwell around this time, travelling along the M1 motorway, which was pretty wet.
To arrive in Rothwell which is only about 10 miles from Ossett we had to negotiate two flooded sections of road. The exit slip road to the M1 motorway was flooded and the main A639 leading to Rothwell and Wakefield was also flooded. A sudden torrential downpour had left the drains unable to cope.
This was the scene in Rothwell as we arrived and typical of the conditions on the motorway slip road and A639 into the town. I’m guessing that Rothwell just a few miles from Ossett had more than our 0.6mm of rain.
