South East & East Anglia Regional Weather Discussion 11/10/13 ------------>

[Captain Shortwave]

I'm going to be honest, Sunday and Monday look really bad with the GFS/UKMO coming out now, deep low centred slap bang over us, looks like persistent heavy rain and strong winds for all

Flood alerts will be all over the place! Heavy rain for 2 days straight apparantly!

[anything-but]

What a crap day at work,my nether-regions had their own en-suite bathroom,NOT a pleasant feeling!!!

 

Glad to be out of that weather till monday now. 

[MP-R]

Not that cold today actually, only a nagging wind. Pretty damp though and looks like a wet weekend to come. Oh well, at least I'll get lots of uni work done!

[abruzzi spur]

First real fire of the season lit. Sloe Gin fermentation under way today.

I can officially announce the arrival of Autumn!

Have a good weekend all

A shame that these synoptics are now and not 6 weeks later as some places would see some huge snowfall totals. A great set up for you guys too soon.

but wouldnt the whole setup be pushed further south, allowing it to just affect Kent?

[ITSY]

the setup for sunday/monday is quite remarkable with some really massive totals piling up. EA widely 40-60mms by Tuesday evening. #ifonlyitwerejanuary!

[Jayces]

Funny how we can so readily get large rainfall totals but as soon as it is snow it either never materialises or doesn't amount to anything much. Okay we have been spoilt the last 4 years or so but it's rare to consistently get long lasting deep snow cover in our neck of the woods.

 

Maybe this year will be different.....

Or even more, there is 80-90mm showing up on the GFS just out to sea, wouldn't take much to get that over us.

Unless it's mid-winter the set up for this weekend is by far the worst this part of the world can get by a country mile.

I guess we could say we are condensing our Autumn into one 5 day totally atrocious spell of weather 

[Brocken Spectre]

My Station record for 24hr was 30mm, in the station's 8 years setup.  Very rarely here in N Kent do we get over 25mm.

 

Smashed out of all proportions. 39.2mm and still rising!!!

hi all

 

nice weather for ducks

 

fax charts at present

 

tomorrow

 

a weaker easterly flow

 

rainfall showing and may hit the far north of the region all day

 

 

the rest may actually see some sun after the morning rain clears

 

temps

 

somewhere around 12-13 degrees

 

maybe a shade lower to the north of the region where the rain sticks around

 

 

sunday

 

looks like a strong north east mainly wind

 

more noticeable due to the low pressure just to our east

 

rainfall

 

heavy rain for most of the day

 

feeling cold

 

around 10-12 degrees

 

will not feel it though

 

rainfall could stay heavy right through sunday night

 

expect to see flood warnings starting to come out

 

especially low lying areas

 

cannot show monday at present

 

but ukmo show heavy rain continuing

 

so overall the weekend looks

thought better to use them than use words

[Brocken Spectre]

Rain is ok, heavy rain is so-so, torrential prolonged rain is just a worry!

[lottiekent]

Evening

Only up to 11.6c today with lots of showers and some longer periods of rain, none of it that heavy though.

Still raining now and 10.7c..

Looking at the radar made me think that if this was anything from two to five months from now we'd be wetting ourselves with excitement as this would most probably all have been snow!

Quote Steve C

"The bar was open from 10, so I had a pint of salted fosters there - the salt from the copious amount that had accumulated around my face.  That made the trip worthwhile. I agree with your comments about the ferocity of the wind there. It was the first time I've experienced a true gale for a few years now, rather than mere gale force gusts. "

 

Salted Fosters??  Could that be the start of a new trend?  Saves eating the crisps

 

Yes, that was a real gale, especially as the wind was concentrated along the roads.  My glasses case fell out of my pocket and was blown about 10 metres down the road before I could catch it

You weren't one of these guys at the top here then?

 

 

Salted Fosters wasn't the best tbh - possibly because I wasn't expecting it! I might have got used to it, if I imagined I'd eaten a pack of ready salted (or sea salt ) crisps with the beer.

 

We had heavy rain here earlier, which I had to endure. Tbh I don't mind walking in rain, even if I get wet / soaked through, as long as I can quickly dry out afterwards. I only dislike it if it spoils my outdoor plans. Way preferable to me than dull drizzly type weather / North Sea murk.
