Torrential rain still ongoing here since I woke up at 6am.
Fields, ground, rivers etc must be at capacity now. (Numerous flood warnings out)
We really need a dry, hot summer to sort this… Farmer back of my house says it’s worse it’s been since ‘2014’
Back when there was no fear of yellow or amber warnings
Back when there was not a name giving to a low pressure system claiming it is a storm
Back when, before social media hype took over
**The good ole days**
"Picture --- UK WINTER 1963 SE England--- Postman still made it...."
A wet, mild afternoon in Bedfordshire. Yet more rain on bogged, flooded ground.
Really hope we get a hot, dry summer to make up for yet another, Soaked drenched UK winter
Froze were the Days Yes the home page is officially cringe. Polar Airmass???? WHAT.
Its almost as bad as a 2 week dry spell in the middle of summer declaring a drought. This country has to be one of the most OTT weather event publications going.....
As is Bedfordshire. Absolutely no talk in the office this morning of last nights wind gusts. No wonder Joe public don't take warnings seriously, when the impact across the country is isolated incidents.
Wish we could go back to the good ole days when a Windy day was just a Windy day instead of the media hype and naming windy periods as a storm.
Are these wind gusts expected to get stronger through the night?
nothing out of the ordinary here just a very windy evening. Just drove back from my mums and traffic, roads are fine!
Didn’t even see a wheelie bin on its side.
Dreading the return of the Atlantic Mild Wet Wet Wet.
Been nice to walk the dogs on frozen mud, all change from the weekend, back to muddy boots and the dogs giving me dirty looks while rinsing paws or a full on shower down after a their walk....
Watching Look East last night and they had a whole segment on this so called cold spell.
Temps of -2c and a gritter lorry for frost. Look east described it as an Icy Cold period.
Other countries must laugh and laugh at us.
I guess anything to fill a news bulletin to keep up the narrative
12c here forecast for this time next week.
Until then a sunny, Cold and dry week ahead.
Shame about no snow, but as a Brit of 41 years it’s no surprise.
