I agree wih you. The Thames burst its banks here overnight, so flooding was already an issue. Combination of run off and storm drains blocked by debris from Henk has made for very hazardous road conditions this evening. Thought tonight's rain had stopped, but looks like it's pivoting over me and coming back!
Nearly every road is either impassable due to flooding or accidents - not me trying to move my car btw..sent by a friend

The Thames has burst its banks overnight in just about every spot in South Oxfordshire. Drove up to Milton Keynes this morning and a lot of roads were flooded already around here, but noticeably better in Bucks. The return journey was interesting with heavy rain and a rush hour. Add Hanks debris and it's pretty awful

A couple of villages cut off by flood water/ fallen trees. It's a miracle nobody's been killed

Henk's moved on here. Short, but intense. Trees, fence panels down. A couple of villages are cut off either by flood water or felled trees

Recorded a 55mph gust. Impressive for this far inland. Lots of debris around- There must be a fair number of trees down further south . The winds seemed to come from nowhere, screamed for about 2 hours, and have now died right down!

Am I right in thinking that the Amber wind warning area on the MetO warning is too far North?
Looking at the rain warning they seem to have that about right, we are right at the northern edge of the heaviest rain, its been a wet day but not excessive, but reports from just south of here indicate some significant accumulations. Impacts here are related to the fact that the last 3 months have been wet, just surface water.
I thought that earlier. I'm bang smack in the middle of the amber warning, but the highest gusts have been recorded south of me

Just recorded a 55mph gust, which is pretty high for here! I have light up unicorns for xmas in the garden and they've become casualties to the weather for the second time this winter

You can see the jetstream path, and the small indent which is deepening rapidly on Nullschool, also suggesting stingjet possibilities..
It would explain why the forecast wind speeds shoot up very rapidly for a short while

Just been upgraded to Amber for wind here- I can't remember when we last had an amber warning. Looks like the wind event is concentrated in a fairly small area

Conveyor belt of showers here too. Some very heavy and hail mixed in

Brief torrential rain shower with hail mixed in. Wasn't expecting that!

Yes, being in a low-lying frost pocket at the base of the Chilterns doesn't help when mild air can just pile over the top.
Are you now living in Atlantis?
It can be up to 8c warmer in Henley than Benson, even though both are by the river because of the Chilterns

You're OK you live closer to the North Pole, than most of the rest of us!
Oddly enough, despite the low temps we get here, snow is a rarity. Decent snow anyhow

37mm of rain so far today - southern slope of dartmoor means we are the prime spot of this weather warning!
Overnight low of 7.7c
Lots of excited chatter on the MAD thread of charts at 15 days away. Might put the Samaritans number up there around 4.30 this afternoon.......
Don't believe a word until Big Steve says the S word!

Mmmmm well never trust an app they say. So which one do I have less trust in!
Either way it's a cold Thursday. Will bring my monthly average down a smidge
If it's drizzle there, no chance for the rest of us! I'm guessing it's going to be cold and damp. A little later into the season and colder uppers and it'd be game on !

“Trees ‘n’ bushes we’re your mushes”
that’s my company name when I get round to opening a landscaping business
cold has drawn me back, not sure my sanity can take the mod thread yet, I’ll break myself back into the NW community gently I think! It’s been a while
Only wandered in as I heard someone was looking for a gardener but I'm not offering him indoors out to just anyone

56mph average wind speed at Portland at the moment. Crazy. Just 13mph here.
The variations in wind speed between coastal kent and a few miles inland are pretty steep too.

Eye has passed now and pressure starting to rise- 956 from a low of 953

It's the same round here.Loads of standing water an inch or so deep that should make great skating rink
