Today's weather (aka General weather chat)

[damianslaw]

attachment=68255:IMG_0272_1.JPG] Feeling very autumnal last night down to 6c as this guy agrees as he got a warm dry mat to sit on at the backdoor with one of the farm cats, perhaps not the best place to hibernate Cool strong NE wind off the sea here today 13c drizzly in the morning but brighter now combines round about making progress again this afternoon.

Wonderful image there! I wonder if the cat realises just want that spiky thing in front of it is..

Well one word sums up today 'filthy', not often I would use such a strong word, but today really has warranted it, incessant rain for most of the day with a strong gusty cold NE wind - its felt as if we have borrowed a day from November. There was an hour around 11am when it felt like the depths of winter!

Thankfully in the last couple of hours the rain has eased and it doesn't look like we will get the same intensity overnight and tomorrow as we have seen in the past 24-30 hours.

Northumberland looks to have been hardest hit today particularly The Cheviots and low lying areas close to the River Wansbeck and Coquet. Tomorrow shouldn't be anywhere near as bad but the front only looks to slowly dissapate, so I'm expecting patchy light rain on and off well into the afternoon. The sunshine continues to elude us...

The forecast yesterday had cloud, rain, damp and gloomy conditions lasting the whole day over my area, but it's been cracking the flags. Glorious warm sunshine, with only frequent cloudy spells. It's filled in a bit now, but all considering a really nice late summer's day.

Yep, the best day here for quite a while - warm enough to sit outside in my shorts !!! Clouding over now, and maybe get the first rain of the day soon, but today has been the first opportunity to properly get stuck into tidying up the garden for quite sometime. Isn't the British weather funny !!!

We have flooding here; the river Wear has burst its banks in several places, my groundfloor office is flooded and quite a lot of roads are impassable.
