Morning all.

 

Mostly sunny here today. Much better than I was expecting (dry but cloudy)

 

Have a good day all, before tomorrow is washed out.

Yellow Warning of Rain for London & South East England :

 

East Sussex, Greater London, Kent & Medway

 

Yellow Warning of Rain for East of England :

 

Essex, Norfolk, Southend-on-Sea, Suffolk & Thurrock

 

 

Outbreaks of rain are expected to affect southeast England and East Anglia during Sunday, heavy in places. The public should be aware of the potential for localised flooding.

An area of low pressure is expected to develop across the southern North Sea on Sunday, bringing a band of rainfall southwestwards across southeast England and East Anglia. 20mm may fall quite widely, but embedded within this there is the potential for some localised heavier bursts which could produce 40-50mm. There is a high degree of uncertainty over the depth and track of the low, and hence also on the locations most likely to be affected by the larger rainfall totals, so the public are advised to remain in touch with the forecasts.

Amazing how every year they have a similar story with quotes from the same people. I wouldn't be suprised if very  soon they will have an offer for heated winter gloves or ice scrapers once you save the tokens from 52 editions and pay P&P, although with a special discount for the TOD members

Glad it's been dry this morning, hubby replaced the pane of glass I broke whilst trying to put up a curtain pole by myself.

Something he has now told me in no uncertain terms asked me nicely not to do again with out him. 

 

Garlic planted, and last of the autumn raspberries picked. Shed tidy up next.

Perhaps he was really concerned that you might have cut yourself.

Who writes these articles! There was an equally ridiculous article in one of them about gales and snow this weekend! One wonders where they get their information from.

I don't think they care. They know that headlines sell papers. The people who make the forecasts are probably in for a decent wedge for making them. There's never any comeback either and it just goes on.

 

Pretty cynical really, but maybe people who buy the papers, because of these headlines, deserve it?

Absolutely spot on there Steve.

In the original article Jonathon Powell of Vantage Weather services is mentioned.  This is what Vantage ACTUALLY say on their website for November

 

Autumn 2013: Largely typical autumn, but risk of extremes.

November 2013

November looks to see more evenly balanced weather across the country, with a lessening degree of rainfall nationwide.  Apart perhaps from the far north west, most areas should see a mix of dry, bright, and sunny weather, with a decreased amount of wet and windy conditions.  Temperatures late month may well induce some early snow across the hills of Scotland and to the north of England.  Towards the middle and latter part of the month under clear skies, frost activity can be expected, leading to chilly, bright, and crisp autumnal days.  On balance, rainfall is expected to come in below the average for the majority of areas, with temperatures reflecting the norm.

 

 

No RECORD Breaking cold there

Lol! Express rampers!

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Serious amount of rain building over Germany and the north sea now.. Plus the low that is expected to form off of the east coast could be some very high rainfall totals come this time tomorrow! Don't think the models really have a proper grip on the set up.. Shame it's not with -5 uppers would be jumping up and down!!!!

[Biggin]

I take it thats our rain over Holland atm ?? http://www.weathercast.co.uk/radar/archive-for-europe.html

[Summer of 76]

It could be the lot  around the wash which appears to be feeding from the north sea and growing, it's real heavy drops here now.

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Very heavy rain here, puddles are massive, small roadside streams are flowing fast! Proves there has been loads of rain already! 

Carries on at this rate, the nene will soon be getting very swollen.

[Methuselah]

Nothing at all over here...yet!
