  1. Stabilo19 Goodness me, London only 1674 hours of annual sunshine on average. Compare that to the following (lifted from Wikipedia)... Warsaw - 1997 hours Moscow - 1901 hours Stockholm - 1803 hours Pittsburgh - 2021 hours (dullest city in N.America?) Copenhagen - 1912 hours Puts things into perspective.
  2. Woke up to yet more rain hammering on the roof. Maybe I should start growing rice! markyo Except there wasn't much heat in the summer months last year.
  3. Not a bad day here in Leeds but with rain forecast everyday now for the rest of the week its back to square one.
  4. After a 'dry' forecast we have rain again although it is light & patchy. No wind but very damp everywhere.
  5. Ha, me and my big mouth! It's now hammering it down.
  6. Came home to find patches of snow still around in gardens and on cars left parked up. Local roads around the airport area resemble streams especially Carlton village and east Chevin road where it’ll run off the land for weeks. No more rain now please, not a drop until April.
  7. An absolute slush fest out there now. Currently 2 degrees in rain mixed with todays dumping means rivers down the roads.
  8. It started here around 9am and is still coming down. Not that much in the centre of Leeds but up here (200m) we’ve had a good 4 inches or so.
  9. What has northern England done to upset the weather gods? Have a look at the rain radar. Another band of rain cutting the UK in half & straight over the top of us. You couldn't make it up. Some want to emigrate to better climes but this winter I could just move 100 miles north or south!
  10. Northern England getting hammered again by a band of heavy rain. It's beyond a joke now. Just not funny anymore.
  11. Still raining with a heavy burst now lashing against a northerly facing window. It hasn't stopped since 5am but the radar finally shows it could be gone in the next hour or so. No more rain now please for the next 10 days!
  12. @SunnyG Enjoy it while you can. It's been raining here for 9 hours +.
  13. A very wet journey into Leeds this morning and the amount of standing water & large puddles was quite considerable. If it continues all day then I suspect they'll be problems for some. I'm sick of this constant rain. Why does it always seem to be northern England that gets hammered?
  14. Heavy rain since 5am and according to the forecast about another 14 hours of it to come.
  15. Mmm, not quite the day forecast for here only a few hours ago. Currently overcast and 8.7c which makes it cooler than this time yesterday. All in all not a bad day though at least it’s not lashing it down or gusting to 50mph.
  16. He landed, well done. Reported wind shear on short final. Loss of 20 knots airspeed.
  17. Just been outside to the garage and the wind is howling through the trees. The gusts seem quite vicious as well. There's also a couple of house alarms in the distance adding to the drama.
  18. Wind at LBA currently 190-220 25 gusting 39 knots so more or less a straight crosswind. Both of tonights Aer Lingus are cancelled but there's a few Jet 2's due later. I'll listen in on my scanner but will be surprised if they attempt an approach. Kudos to any pilots flying tonight.
  19. Still feeling bitterly cold here with quite a strong wind. Lots of ice still around as well especially on the pavements.
  20. This endless rain is way beyond a joke now. It's been pounding it down again here for the last couple of hours. I went out in the garden earlier and everything is absolutely saturated from the fence to the flowerbeds.
  21. Yes but 1878 is fairly recent in the history of the earth.
  22. We had flashes of lightning and a few rumbles of thunder earlier around 8pm.
  23. Heavy rain again here and it looks likely to last for many hours yet. Wish I had a rain gauge however I keep a plastic tumbler outside in a fairly sheltered corner of the patio for cleaning brushes etc which is about 7" tall. I last emptied it about a week ago and yesterday it was overflowing again.
