Image source, Paul SilversWellington in Somerset has seen its wettest January since 1984, according to a weather observer who has recorded rainfall in the town for many decades.
According to Simon Ratsey, the 41mm of rain that fell in the past 24 hours is the largest daily rainfall total since he began his records in 1962.
The seven days ending at 9am on Tuesday was the wettest week ever with a total of 158mm of rainfall - beating a previous record set in November 2012.
In addition, the past week saw some five “noteworthy” days of rainfall - 20mm or more - by comparison 2011 had just one in the entire year.
With more rain forecast, some new records could be broken even before the month is out.
Ian Withers from the Environment Agency told BBC Radio Somerset there was a long list of flood warnings and alerts for the county.

Ian Fergusson, BBC West's Senior Weather Presenter, says: "The 24-hour period between Monday morning to this morning saw 25mm or more of rainfall across many districts from North Somerset southwards, including for much of Bath and North East Somerset, Wiltshire and Somerset.
"However, further south - into southern reaches of Somerset and across much of Dorset - rain totals were higher, reaching 50mm or more. These areas were under the amber warning from the Met Office and we are seeing some acute flooding problems emerging in various locations.
"The rate of river response will vary across different catchments - some are much faster, as has been the case today around Chew Magna and Winford, whereas others will see flooding risks continue for some days ahead as a result of the recent rain. In addition, groundwater flooding is a hazard for various locations in southern parts of Wiltshire and in Dorset."

Drivers coming out of Taunton on the A358 continue to brave floodwater close to the park and ride, despite the fire service's warnings about the risk of getting stranded.
Ben Williams from Devon and Somerset Fire told BBC Radio Somerset they have done 25 rescues today so far - with a very small number of people stuck in their vehicles in floodwater.
He said with water levels rising, there is limited action the service can take.
"Where there's a specific risk to life we can do our best to take action but a lot of people will have to wait until water does subside," he said.
"We've seen numerous examples of flood water that's above a level to exit vehicles.
"The message is don't drive through floodwater and don't risk it."
Alan Wilson, who has lived in the Puckington area for 25 years and was out trying to retrieve his recycling, told BBC reporter Matt Faulkner: "This is almost as bad as it gets."
Wilson says he has only seen it get this bad around three times before but is hopeful his home will not be flooded this time.
"I've never seen it go higher [than this]. Hopefully we'll have a bit of respite today, all will be well," he said
"We keep calm and carry on."

in Severn Drive, Taunton
The water is shin deep on Severn Drive in Taunton.
The estate has two houses, that I can see, badly flooded. The water is going down now, but very slowly.
Residents say they have never experienced anything like this before, in the 25 years that this housing estate has been here.
The feeling is very critical towards the drainage situation on the estate but at the same time there is a lot of community spirit on display.
Lots of people are helping the affected families out with hot drinks and a place to stay.

in Ilminster
The fire brigade have just arrived here in Ilminster. There’s a couple of units going towards the far end of Station Road, as you head out of town.
Despite that, it is quite calm at the moment but there is at least a foot of water on Station Road, which means you can’t get through the town. There’s only one way in and out now.
In Puckington, where I’ve just been, locals told me it’s the worst flooding they’ve ever seen.

Some business in Ilminster are closed due to heavy flooding along Station Road - almost exactly a year since the town last flooded.
Brian Hamilton, Ilminster’s mayor, said: “The problem is we have the water bursting the bank of the River Isle just slightly upstream.
“It makes its way through the fields nearby and comes pouring into Station Road through a gate about halfway along.”
Hamilton said in the past 12 months, volunteers have set up the Ilminster Response Group to help residents prepare for heavy rain, and get support to flooded properties.
“This is really the biggest test they’ve had so far,” he said.
