That's not rain.... this is rain.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, between 9am and 1.30pm today, 154mm of rain has fallen on Albion Park.
That was earlier this year... we went on to get 296mm in 24hrs !

It's all okay. Nothing to worry about.
The only areas of the UK not thought to be under threat are the Midlands, the South West and South East.
