Absolute shocker of a day here. It’s hardly stopped raining since the start of the day. 2 batches of thundery activity in the past 24 hours. I do wonder with the amount of rain that’s fallen if a yellow warning could have been issued. Causing issues on the railways and doubtless on the roads too. Disruption on GWR trains in the west due to flooding https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-68682702

*Stormforce~beka* Given the right conditions yes. Best of course is sunshine, bit of breeze and low humidity. The latter plays a big part on a cold but sunny day. It can be surprising just how quickly washing will dry given dry air even if the temp is only a few degrees. Generally it takes a lot longer in the winter as you’d expect and you need to finish drying in the house in the evening.

I won't be joining the Scandi high chase in the MOD thread. Isn't it always the way, when there's wind and rain on the way, the yellow warning is able to be issued a good few days out. That's the plan, enjoy the last few days of dry walking weather before the wellies come out of the cupboard again! Disappointed that this dry spell is coming to an end. Would have been great to have got high pressure to stick around for a good few weeks to get us to or near to spring. Oh well.

I sort of suppose we should be grateful we’ve managed potentially not one but two mainly dry weeks before the Atlantic makes its unwelcome return. Can’t remember the last time we had two consecutive mainly dry weeks, September?? With all the recent flooding that is definitely something to be grateful for.

What a beautiful day it’s been. Was able to wear walking boots rather than wellie boots for the first time in goodness how long this afternoon now the ground has dried out a bit and frozen up. Would love to see snow, but proper snow, no marginal slushy mess. I’d rather keep the dry conditions that we’ve waited so long for unless it’s a decent note worthy snowfall. I can’t get excited over a light dusting that melts a leaves everything wet again.
