can the veg under cloches find water? its been tipping down for 3 days now

Maybe ...or maybe not. Try making a hole in the soil and feeling if it is damp.
That dependson what the cloches are made from.
I'd be inclined to take the cloches off for an hour or two. Sit in your shed with a flask, a bacon sandwich and a good book and remember to put them back on when they've had a good soak.
some of ours get the rain through them,some dont ,as others have said,depends what style they are and what they are made of,feeling the soil beneath is a good way of finding out
thank you every one,
:) i'm going to the plot now then to water

depends lots on what's under there, deeper rooted things can find their own :)
I always find I have to water anything under cloches. I suppose a flood would wet them adequately, but I only use them for a short period in spring, and we haven't had the floods then.
