    Another two hours to high tide and a Bognor it's well up the beach to the shingle bank http://www.bognorregisbeach.co.uk/live Wind has really dropped away here and only seems to be heard when the showers come through

    From Google Prawle Point is a coastal headland in south Devon, England It is the southernmost point of Devon. Access is from the village of East Prawle along a single-track road, at the end of which a National Trust car park is present.

    and here's a good live station if you want to see some high numbers, the graph as given up http://www.nci-prawlepoint.org.uk/weather.htm Graph back but a constant force 12!!!

    Yes having the sound up loud makes you feel as if you were there, and agree that water is really coming in fast.
  5. Summer of 76
    Now men, we need to fight this wind and rain together Don't Panic DON'T PANIC DON@T PANIC
  6. Summer of 76
    I love Sky News with it's many reporters around the country who are either being blown over or blocking the road with there cameras and saying the same thing over and over again It's pouring here and the wind is very gusty but only when the rain bands come through, temperature is around 8.6c at the moment and the pressure is still falling.
  7. Summer of 76
    I do hope the car dealership has some water tight doors there

    Sky's perspective on things for the coming week? http://news.sky.com/story/1210968/weather-uk-to-be-hit-by-storms-in-next-week
  9. Summer of 76
    Still have some very strong gusts here blowing around the house
  10. Summer of 76
    Same here the wind is picking up into some powerful gusts which measured the highest for the day about 3o minutes ago.
  11. Summer of 76
    are you having a blow wave
  12. Summer of 76
    It's amazing how they can now get it down to a county
  13. Summer of 76
    Well according to the radar the rain is on it's way and whether it's true is presently showing freezing rain around the wash area, not very warm outside at 3.7c although on the rise. I see on the weather last night there was mention of a dusting of snow overnight (think it was tonight) which may have changed since then, will the snow depth cup have a chance to be tested
  14. Summer of 76
    There is a video on the Sky news web page which was taken for their helicopter.
  15. Summer of 76
    Morning, it's Monday again It's reading 2.7c which a slightly warmer than 4.41am when it was 2.5c and feels colder than the past few days. it looks a bit drier today although I doubt if rain is far away for the rest of the week.
  16. Summer of 76
    And I had powered off the snow depth cup computer
  17. Summer of 76
    I was just having a closer look at the flood map which Mk posted on their web site and one thing which stands out around Windsor is the number of reservoirs which are in close proximity to the river. I suppose they are topped up by the river however the problems will begin if the treatment works get flooded or the power goes down due to sub stations being effected. Whilst the Somerset levels have their problems the populated areas of London will pose a even more worry for all the agencies involved with this situation.

    A picture paints a thousand word
  19. Summer of 76
    I think it's down to a mixture of both, there is so much water coming down stream that the river is rising but also as it's a tidal river it will back up at high tide. They can use the barrier to help stop the tide coming up the Thames however you still have the water coming down so at this stage it's probably a catch 22. It will be interesting to see what happens after the COBRA meeting, will we see troops being sent in to evacuate people ect.
  20. Summer of 76
    Yes Tinybill, I have never seen eleven severe flood warnings before on the EA Flood site before, and the words from one I think says it all, poor people Properties closest to the River Thames at Datchet, between Black Potts Bridge and Albert Bridge River levels on the Thames are very high and still rising in the Datchet area. A Severe Flood Warning is now in force as river levels will continue to rise for at least 24 hours and are forecast to be higher than those experienced in 2003 on the Thames. Widespread property flooding is expected in the area and disruption to local infrastructure is possible. The Environment Agency and its partners will update this message as the situation changes. PS now risen to 16
  21. Summer of 76
    Ali, can you confirm this In the words of the now famous JP, lets see what the fax charts have to say later as the models seem to bringing up all sorts of possible storms.
  22. Summer of 76
    Well further to my earlier post, maybe the wind won't be a problem but I see there are a number of warnings re-issued about rain through to Thursday for some parts of our region. Here's the link, however I am sure that MKSA will post the full warnings once she returns from the slopes http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/warnings/#?tab=warnings&regionName=se&fcTime=1391904000
  23. Summer of 76
    Yes that is another reason COBRA meet yesterday as there is growing concern about the amount of water that will be passing down the Thames over the week. They are making sure that they protect water treatment and electricity sub station facilities which reminds me of a few years ago when they came very close to losing that power station somewhere which apart from the flooding would have a serious impact for many thousands of people. Here in Bedford we have now had two dry days and it looks as though that could continue today and tomorrow or if it does rain it won't be on the scale of Thursday or Friday of last week. it makes you wonder what we would be doing if all that had fell as snow
  24. Summer of 76
    Looking through the surface charts on e met office web site this morning, it looks as though after today although the wind maybe strong at times there are no more major features shown until the end of the week. You can also see how the 528 line is off the south coast by Wednesday, hence the words wintry showers are used in the text forecast. http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/surface-pressure/#?tab=surfacePressureColour&fcTime=1392163200 I suppose that this could all change by tonight.
  25. Summer of 76
    Yes a lot of wind around here last night (steady matron) although everything in the garden still looks OK and the gusts seems to have died away in the last hour although Xweather is still showing some high numbers on their animation for the past half an hour. We have a temperature of 6.5c at the moment and a few spits and spots of rain although the showers seem to be running out of steam before they reach here, oh here's another strong gust going through. I took delivery of a new 27' monitor yesterday and I must admit I never knew I could get so much open on a screen at once
