With the first real trip of the year approaching fast, and the rain pouring down continuously for the past 3 days, it’s useful to check the available River Wye Webcam sites such as this one from the White Lion pub at Ross on Wye on the lower Wye:

River Conditions at Ross on Wye

Especially useful are the river-level web cams provided by the Wye & Usk Foundation which cover various points along the rivers Wye, Usk, Lugg & Monnow. I’m looking closely at this one of the River Wye at Lucksall Caravan park near Mordiford, just below Hereford over the next 48 hours to see how much the river level is rising with all this rain. The web cam pages also show snapshots from the past 24 hours for comparison, so you can see if the level is going up or down, and how rapidly. The live web cam pictures can be watched here and here’s the picture as at 16:19 hours today…

For general weather conditions this BBC webcam shows the cloud/sky pretty well.
