I've just been checking GFS.. Can't quite believe how many lows are going to back centered over Southern UK /Midlands ... over the next week.. +
I wouldn't take any particular forecast for granted... but didn't we have similar scenarios just 2 years ago with Storms hitting the South West causing months of flooding and the Dawlish sea Defense being shattered?
Every storm could bring us a chance of thunder, hail... strong .. severe gale force winds,. mini tornadoes,. .. I don't know about prolonged rain, I haven't checked.. ,, but torrential downpours seem almost inevitable. My Dads kitchen got flooded Christmas Eve,. just from a torrential Downpour..
but the trees are still dropping leaves!!!!
