    They do that all the time, we see an exceptional spell of weather and then blame climate change. If it's dry for a long time, it's going to be dry all the time apparently. But when it's wet all the time, yes you guessed it, it's going to be wet all the time because of climate change. Come back to me when someone makes their mind up.

    I don't why you would say that, the building is beautiful and doesn't deserve to be destroyed.

    As next week looks potentially serious, I will post notable rain events for this upcoming week. Tomorrow - Looks very convective in nature, could be some localised large accumulations, particularly across the south of the region. Tuesday - Band of rain associated with a system from in from the West. Wednesday Morning - Heavy showers associated with a post-frontal trough spread across the region on Wednesday morning Wednesday Afternoon - Before the next band of heavy rain lines itself up towards the SW. Thursday - Another system moves up from the south bringing yet more rain Friday - Probably the most severe in terms of rainfall anyway, a similar system to that of last Thursday which is dreadful Saturday - Low wraps around and then gives another band of rain for all Next Monday - Rinse and repeat! Total accumulation between 10th - 18th = 60-80mm (Locally more)

    Severe flood warnings have been issued for much of the River Thames just West of London. This means there's an imminent threat to life and property. If you live in the areas listed below, please seek flood advice. - Black Potts Bridge and Albert Bridge - Datchet - Friday Island to Magna Carta Island - Old Windsor - Wraysbury - Horton - Salt Moor and North Moor - A361 East Lyng to Burrowbridge - Runnymede Pleasure Grounds - Staines - Penton Hook - Laleham - Hamm Court - Chertsey - Littleton Lane - Shepperton Lock - Egham Flood Advice: 0845 988 1188 "River levels on the Thames are very high and still rising. 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." https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=582287195197164&set=a.221519961273891.50855.221503444608876&type=1&theater

    Watching this closely! Absolutely awful!

    I think people living near the Thames have to accept the inevitable now, there will be severe flooding. This week is yet another incredibly wet week, there will not be enough time for the river levels to subside, even though there's a couple of dry(ish) days ahead.

    I think as ever people will just have to agree to disagree with one another on the global warming debate.

    Definitely mammatus clouds, they always follow on behind a storm.

    One thing I have noticed is that our river goes down very rapidly. I have always wondered why it would be very high in the morning and then be a small stream again in the afternoon. I think it's because we are on top of a hill and the river starts just North of the town, it's faster flowing here so I can only assume the extra water flows straight through us and then floods areas further downstream. As terrible as it may sound, I love it when our river surges (inevitably flooding towns further south), it rarely happens but it looks so beautiful. The highest level recorded was on 04/06/2008 where we had 12 hours of constant torrential rain, I remember that day well. The highest the river ever went was actually in 1968 when the river peaked at around 3.5 metres, 2 times higher than that scale goes below. It caused extensive flooding across much of the town and was the only recorded river flooding Buntingford ever witnessed, caused by a similar scenario as 2008. Data shows it drops nearly a metre in just 12 hours.

    I'm surprised no one has posted the maximum wind gust charts from the GFS, look away now! VERY dangerous storm :O
  20. Eskimo
    I'm sure it's already been posted as it's a shocking chart but WHAT?! :O :O

    My poem called Mounts Bay. Twas was a leaden evening on Mounts Bay The wind was howling and the sea was grey Birds were battling against the elements Despite their frantic movement of eloquence The trees were swaying as if they were conveying A message of hope but rather of praying The sea came crashing against the rocks There was no time to save the docks The surge came closer towards the town A chilling threat portrayed a drown The waves came barrelling from the east It claimed a life, it was a beast Shops were ransacked through and through Whilst Mother Nature's plans were drew The sea receded and help was needed But the ocean proved it was unimpeded The town was gone and community lost The devastation left the air embossed. No one was sure what happened that day On that fateful day at Mounts Bay.

    Wow! Even the hi-res says yes!
  23. Eskimo
    Why, thank you!

    I believe this must be the first flood warning from the environment agency for Buntingford, incredible. I just want to see how swollen that river is back at home!

    My area back at home has flooded for the first time since 1967 and the first floods in Buntingford and surrounding areas caused by successive bands of rain ever. Buntingford has flooded but only from thunderstorms if I remember rightly. Some homes in orbiting villages have been flooded for the first time ever as well. This has been an exceptional spell of weather.
