It may have been month of wet weather across the region, but it is nothing compared to the heartache and misery of the 1912 floods which left parts of Norwich and Norfolk underwater 103 years ago today.
More than a century ago a very wet August culminated in non-stop rain and a howling gale force wind on August 26 and the following two days.
Swollen rivers burst their banks and the water cascaded into the city turning roads into rivers.
Four months’ worth of rain fell in a day, causing chaos in Norwich and the county and our gallery of pictures, from Broadland Memories, looks back at the effects of the flooding.
