The worst weather here in west wales for nearly 30 years. Nearly all of the towns and villages along the Teifi Valley have been affected by flooding. Carmarthern is a no go area because water has overflowed over the flood defence. One person between New Castle Emlyn and Carmarthen has been killed due to his car was caught in a landslide. More rain tomorrow morning again.

From what i saw on fb, the river at Llechryd Bridge has risen around 10ft since this morning, and it's only going to get worse as the water from our end of the Teifi reaches down there in the next few days.

We've still only had a few showers and certainly not enough to do any good.

We've got a inch of damp soil on top with dust underneath still.

Dry patches on our heavy land the seed is still laying in dust and hasn't germinated.
