These winds are so strong, feel stronger than sone amber warnings we recently had!
-
Tomorrows rain and low approach/angle is ideal for when we had that cold in place to get heaps of snow but now it is too warm we get the precipitation. PMSL.
-
Very light drizzle here, so very cold though, shame its not the white stuff.
-
So much rain. Must be one of our wettest years. Always say things balance themselves out. Summer dry weather and wet winter weather. Rain is always around the corner for our Island sitting slap bang in the path of the normal jet stream.
-
Experienced freezing rain once only, in Bruges last December. Was horrific, saw cyclists just going A over T. We were walking on cobbled roads, so dangerous, pavements were sheets of ice. My coat was an ice sheet.

A few stats about the rainfall we are currently experiencing. The SE have had measurable rainfall from 09/10/23 - 06/11/23 and counting - 29 days. Going back to 2019 the longest period of measurable rainfall in the SE is 76 days (21/11/2019 - 04/02/202) and this was in the period of 21/09/2019 - 16/03/202 where there were only TWO dry days out of 176. Would be interesting to go back further.....

For the south east, the last day with zero measureable rainfall was 8th October. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadukp/data/daily/HadSEEP_daily_totals.txt

Indeed, this is the other end of the scale. Hoping we get a nice easterly to dry us out.
-
I hope those praying for rain 6 weeks ago have got the rain they so desired. Been very wet down my neck of the woods for quite some time now..... Not that i am surprised.
-
Agree with you 100%. Heavy rain here again, just in time for the school run, yet again!
-
Amazingly SE is sat at 112% of Rainfall to end of August, which would be considered a very wet 8 months, I say amazingly, as there seems to be a few areas with hard ground, so would like to see the map of where the rainfall has hit. Where I live we had had plenty of the wet stuff, would be nice for another dry period. I can see this year ending on a very wet note, just hope not too wet, hate seeing people suffering from floods especially at Christmas.
-
That was insane rain for a good 20-30 minutes.
-
I would say a 20% chance of seeing rainfall in that hour, but by no means am I am expert.
-
You need an average i guess, to work out anomolies, and you will always have variations. This average we need. There will always be someone saying, 'no way are we hotter than average' and somone saying the opposite, this is the love of weather. It would be boring if we all had the same opinion, agree. Hope you get some of this wet stuff anyway in the Saharan Kent countryside, teeming down here.
-
I would love a proper weather station, with accurate readings. Especially to see how much rain fallsvin those really torrential downpours.
-
SE has just hit 101% of average july monthly rainfall this month so far with a week to go. Could be nearer 150%. As a whole it has been very wet. Very localised variations obvious, some places get 25%, some get 200%.
-
Rain in th UK is never too far away, would love a summer like in S Europe where you are guaranteed dry weather for a certain period. Dark clouds hovering, still breezy and feeling fresher.
-
Shame, a few miles seems to make all the difference, your time will come and then you will be begging for sun and for it to dry out I would welcome a dry spell here, the last few weeks have been quite wet, 200l water butt 90% full, lawn recovered very well and everything green. Been caught out on the golf course during periods of heavy rain. Today was dry mind, which was nice, been out and about then lounging in the garden holding onto my hat
-
Really blowy yesterday with about 7 or 8 passing showers that we seemed to be on the edge of, that only just got the ground wet. Showers and rain seem to be the theme now going into August. Joy.
-
Does look like a very windy period coming up, more like October, with all this wind and rain. Gusts in the 40's, although the other day it was also very gusty.
-
Yep, the beauty of IMBY weather reporting, we don't get to hear about in the news. Everything green here now, unlike you most probably. Your time will come
-
Yeh these differences are normal. Some places would have seen 200% while others 25%. Just going by how the big boys do their stats. We have had tons of rain here in SM6, ground still firm, but we are in summer. As an island in a direct hit of the jet we will never regularly go into a drought unless the water companies keep failing us.
-
Amazingly, half way through the year the SE is 106% to average rainfall. July is nearly 50% already with lots more rain to come. This will be one very wet year if we keep going like this.
-
So much rain falling.
-
Your cracked garden does not mean the whole of Kent is in a drought, it might just mean your garden is dry, which in summer is not unusual.
