Thrilled to reveal that my wife gave birth to our baby Noah yesterday morning at dawn; considering my loathing for anything flood related a slightly ironic name

Hopefully his arrival is greeted with some Spring warmth!

Strewth....look at that lot incoming. That should dampen down the 'events' in Trafalgar Square this evening, and the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley !!

 

Edit: Congrats to Jezzer, wife and new born.

Didn't have that effect on me 

[MarcB]

After a beautiful morning here and the temperature reaching 13.8°c, it has now dropped to 11.4°c and feeling much cooler.

 

Looks as though the rain is about 20 miles to our south west at the mo'.

[Keraunic]

It's raining in Ippy. Knew that nice taste of spring wouldn't last long. Ho hum!

Congrats' to Jezzer on arrival of Noah. Lovely name.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

rain moving through pretty quick

[tinybill]

looking at  me  rain alarm looking like a wet old  night

[abruzzi spur]

Been raining since about 1pm in Brighton, really windy as well, an amazing contrast to first thing today.  Hopefully it will pass through overnight - the flat's windows are rattling in the stronger gusts which makes for an atmospheric if noisy night (haven't had one of those for some time!)

[Heisenberg]

Lots of rain here. Congrats on the baby....

[john pike]

Question for JP. We all await your fax charts but I just wondered how long it takes you to make these forecasts using tonight's at 10.37pm as an example?

 

hi terryall

 

good question

 

it varies depending on what is expected

 

rain forecasts are easier than snow

 

probably about an hour roughly but longer with snow ones

 

hi jezzer

 

congratulations

 

remember moaning about no snow

 

now you can moan about no sleep

 

right old miserable day out today

 

heres my bbc remark

 

at least its mild

[john pike]

 

tomorrow

 

at least that front has been shoved back further west again

 

so dry and warm

 

a tad breezy the further north you go on a south westerly flow

 

temps around 16-18 degrees

 

still poss fog on coasts but should hopefully clear quickly in the morning

 

rain is possible but should be dark before it gets here

 

 

sunday night

 

south westerly flow

 

rain clearing most areas just after midnight

 

temps around 10 degrees

 

mist again on coasts possible

 

monday

 

weak south westerly flow

 

looks dry and with sunny intervals

 

temps around 15-16 degrees

 

late afternoon still poss showers but need another run

 

update the rest later on

[Jan_Bromley]

Thanks John

[Croydondazz]

Hot summer?

What do we all think?

[Methuselah]

Hot summer?

What do we all think?

Not the foggiest! 

 

Congrats, Jezzer! 

[Keraunic]

Had quite a bit of rain in Ippy but its stopped now. Windy but mild. Nice and fresh.

Talking of fog, as RP was, here in Brighton we seem to have been plunged into a Dickensian netherworld of rolling fog and rain.  There are streetlamps along the seafront that on a clear night look like beautiful beacons, but when the sea fog rolls in and all you can see is the shrouded light from their bulbs they create a feel of Victorian gloom, a slightly sinister ambience where the expectation is of blackened carriages drawn by horses, top-hatted men in long coats, graverobbers and urchins (sea urchins here) offering to 'mind your penny farthing for half a crown, guv?'

 

I am slightly regretting creating that iimage given I have to take out the dog soon and walk him through the tunnel down towards the sea, opening the cast iron gates with a proper old haunted house style key.  If I run into a phantom I will probably try pulling off its mask and then suggesting to it that, were it not for those meddling kids, it would probably have got away with it.
