There is a flood warning for River Leam including Mill Gardens, Royal Pump Rooms Gardens, Dormer Place and parts of Adelaide Road, in Leamington, along with areas in Eathorpe, Huningham and Offchurch.

Another warning has been issued for River Anker affecting Royal Meadow Drive, Ratcliffe Road and Aldermill Business Park, in Atherstone.

The river levels are expected to fall later this afternoon but could rise again as further rain is expected over the next few days.

The Sherbourne was a raging torrent last night, as also I expect was the Sowe?

According to the missus, yesterday afternoon the Sowe was rising rapidly and running very fast.
