  1. I've also noticed on the Forcase assessment it's moved into the highest column for impact. 30mm predicted for here overnight and tomorrow. We're in for a wet weekend, stay safe everybody.
  2. Just because it isn't a system associated with making thunderstorms doesn't mean it isn't a trouble maker. The ground is saturated, so all rain runs straight into the rivers, making them rise rapidly, hence all of the warnings out.
  3. Just had to walk home, and it ws torrential in Swindon. 12mm so far, most in the last 45 mins alone. There has also been a 20mb pressure drop in the last 10 hours!
  4. -5.7C here currently, and was -5.9 earlier on. According to the weather Stations in the town, it feels like -9C outside this morning!
  5. Extremely cold today! Maximum temperature was -0.3C, the tempertures have stayed below freezing all day, most likely because of the thick layer of fog. Min temp -5.9C at 8AM this morning. Very cold indeed.
  6. Still a few days away, and there is plenty of time to change. Nevertheless, I am very happy to see this.
  7. Nice to hear about the Undercut that might see Swindon some snow. Only a few flakes this winter, so I'm willing to take anything! -2.5C oustide already and falling.
  8. It looks like some areas may not see temperatures rise above freezing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Very bitter, with a High of 1C forcast here on Tuesday.
  9. The Models are making it look very cold for next week. Hopefully we can get some snow. Haven't had much snow here since 2010, when we had a load of it.
  10. Temperatures dropped to -5.1C last night. Coldest of the season so far. Max was only 2.6C.
  11. Oooh, the models are getting me exited! Let's hope that here isn't a downgrade.
  12. Another cold night, with temperatres down to -4C.
  13. Got to -2.4C here last night, which is the coldest night since last winter.
  14. http://news.sky.com/story/1016506/winter-weather-sub-zero-temperatures-forecast Sky news knows how to make a good story eh? Atleast this drier colder spell will give the high river levels and saturated ground some time to recover.
  15. I think the Midlands might be under a higher warning that what it was under. GFS shows a large part of the midlands getting 40+mm of rain into the early hours.
  16. I was also thinking that. I know the warning was due to expire at midnight (I think) but with the rapidly increasing number of Severe/Flood Warnings they can't honestly believe this isn't sufficient of atleast an Amber Warning still.
  17. Severe Flood Warnings issued for the River Pol and the River Cober. http://news.sky.com/story/1015810/severe-flood-warning-issued-for-cornwall
  18. Rain getting slightly heavier again now. Stay safe everyone.
  19. Wow, really? I'm maybe a mile, two miles max from Haydon Wick, and it's been drizzly the whole time! :S
  20. The "intense rainfall" was shown on the radar going directly over Swindon.... Didn't get any heavier than 0.1mm/min. Very surprised at that.
  21. I don't understand how there is only a Yellow warning from the MetO for the winds - 70+mph gusts hitting a largely populated area could be havoc.
  22. Still only just over 5mm here in Swindon, but looking at the radar there looks to be some very heavy, if not torrential rain just to the south of us.
  23. Less than 5mm here. looks like I'm going to miss it? Scratch that, looks like it's meant to get heavier on later tonight.
  24. Very drizzly here in Swindon, and has been for the last 2 hours. Only just over 2mm so far, but the heaviest rain isn't expected to hit us until later on this evening.
  25. Not far off huricane force? Doesn't it have to be sustained at 75mph to be that strong? I can't see that happening..
