So it's the RCD that is tripping?
Could be a faulty appliance, usually it's a good idea to unplug them all then try them one by one until it trips again.
I would start with inspecting the flax cables to the appliances for damage and also the plug tops for loose connection if that is possible.
Check the items that first went off.

RCDs can sometimes be tripped by faulty appliances that are plugged in but not turned on, so unplug any appliances you're not using.

Top of the list of 'usual suspects' are 'watery' appliances, including washing machines, dishwashers, and fridges. Frost free fridges defrost themselves and evaporate away the melt water from a tray on top of the motor - sometimes the tray can overflow.

Any outdoor equipment that's getting rain in it?
