Well the Met Office were certainly correct with their forecast for very heavy rain today.
It’s been coming down in sheets for most of the day and set to continue into the evening.
Water, water, everywhere
Many parts of the Island have been hit by deep surface water on the roads, water gushing from manholes and localised flooding.

Putting puddles to shame
Linda Basset’s Isle of Wight Community Group on Facebook alerted us to Phil Farmer, who managed to grab these great images of flooding outside Jewsons in Sandown.
More rain is expected throughout the week, but Friday is looking clear at the moment. Let’s hope it stays that way!
