  1. This was the forecast for here as of this morning. Not too far from the truth, though we were only brushed by the really heavy stuff.
  2. Forecast was pretty bang on, except the light rain started a bit earlier. Hopefully it will clear in an hour or so, looking at the radar this is the last of the heavy on the rain band.
  3. Don't worry, folks, the rain has been ordered in time to spoil tomorrow.
  4. I dug a new pond in my garden last month. It's to be fed from the overflow from my waterbutts, but I hadn't got around to hooking it up. Just the rainfall directly into the pond has been enough to keep it topped up since then.
  5. We just had the wettest 18 months on record, beating the previous record that was the 18 months to the end of February. England soaked by record rainfall in last 18 months, new Met Office figures show NEWS.SKY.COM England saw the highest level of rainfall over any 18-month period since Met Office data began back in 1836.
  6. The latest forecasts are for ENSO to go neutral some time between now and June, then transition to La Niña. March 2024 ENSO update: award season | NOAA Climate.gov WWW.CLIMATE.GOV There's a 62% chance La Niña will develop this summer. Our blogger has your ticket to the whole show!
  7. Was bucketing down here in Cheadle, has just cleared. Temp at the airport dropped from 8 to 3C, flippin' 'eck! It did look a bit sleety splattering on the window.
  8. Chucking down here just now, chased me inside from bricklaying a support for my new IBC waterbutt.
  9. All the showers are coming through here with hail in them. Fast-moving though, only last a minute or so.
  10. Haha, some of my colleagues are there and keep going on about it. Sadly their kids still have online school, there are no real snow days since COVID told us we can work and learn remotely!
  11. After 9mm of rain before 9, it's dried up nicely here, we even had some sunshine. So the dogs got a lunchtime walk, which looked out of the question based on the foreacast as it was yesterday.
  12. Snowing right down to sea level. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=787501180077857&set=a.545406000954044
  13. My daughter's at 50m in Dublin and sent me a lovely snowy snap from her flat. The flow off the sea must be meeting the cold air from the north just right. It was just heavy sleet here earlier, being blown along on the wind. Now stopped.
  14. My daughter sent a pic from Dublin, looks great. Looking at the radar there's a good flow off the sea there and you must be hitting the sweet spot for cold coming down from the north.
  15. What's this? A third sunny morning? Lovely! No frost this time though.
  16. My nearest wunderground station: Personal Weather Station Dashboard | Weather Underground WWW.WUNDERGROUND.COM Weather Underground provides local & long-range weather forecasts, weather reports, maps & tropical weather conditions for locations worldwide. needs just another 2.8mm for this Feb to be ten times wetter than last Feb. Last Feb was admittedly very dry.
  17. Well we had a sharp shower around half eight, after which blue sky was seen briefly. The shower must have sucked up the moisture and created a break. Back to full overcast again now.
  18. Well that was the forecast when I went to bed. On walking up I see this from the met I don't see much support from other automated forecasts, hope it's wrong.
  19. Snow up the Cat & Fiddle at least. Looks wet judging by how it's sticking to the camera.
