Hail, loud thunder and lightning.

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**

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.....

You know this winter is bad when Stav on Latest beeb forecast refers to 10c in London and 8c in Edinburgh as 'COLD'. Other countries must laugh at us

Beautiful February afternoon here, Temps at 14c
If no snow than would much rather this type of weather than Atlantic wet crud.

I can confirm NW London is still standing.
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.

Business as usual this morning in Bedfordshire. Heard a lot worse winds than storm Isha, thankfully!
-
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.
-
Colder air should be here by midnight
PPN mostly at zero all of next week, one positive that the ground gets a rest from the relentless rain.
Frosty and dry

Boring cold week for us, then.
Onto the next chase.
Shame no snow chances this time. Maybe Feb could deliver.
I would rather boring over more soaking rain though

ICON is further south with the low..
Latest Beeb going with low ppn staying in France now.
A dry week coming away from the north.
At least no more flooding.
Stav, confirming a dry and cold week for our region.

Absolutely no surprise the snow risk has faded for our region next week.
As with the beginning of last December, with the LOW going into France, it does look quite a dry cold spell. At least we get another week with the ground to dry out.

As with last Wednesday and the Wednesday before that and the Wednesday before that and the Wednesday before that ...

And there will be that one person on here commenting that we need the rain.
Folk who scream "we need rain" after 2 weeks of dry weather in the summer, In the UK, makes me cringe every year.
Its like our soaking wet winters and floods are erased from memory

I’m not trolling but I don’t think this cold
spell will come off.
This is not a cold spell despite the MAD thread, Cold weather alerts.
Back in the 80’s and 90s this would have been a fart in the wind. Non reported.
Really quite incredible how a 2-6c daytime high requires an ‘Alert’ in 2024 …. Times have changed!

Met O giving lots of subtle ( and not so subtle ) hints in their tweets relating to staying safe in freezing weather, temperature records etc. Suggests to me that they are seeing some serious potential in their modelling for severe weather ahead.
BBC polar opposite
According to Helen Willets ‘’temps recovering later next week”
-
The public must be wondering what a ‘cold weather Alert’ actually means? According to BBC a few days of chill then ‘Quote’ Helen Willets latest TV forecast “Temps eventually recovering later next week”
So that’s 2 days tomorrow and Monday of temps of 4-6c then near on double figures approaching later next week.
Other countries must laugh at us

Apparently and I quote 'we are waiting for the all important day 9 run'
The mad thread.
I’ve also heard from a reliable source that this time tomorrow, there is a very high chance that the Day 10 chart will return
