[PiggiePalace]

Heavy and persistent rain here now and still more to come by the looks of it. Hope you don't get flooded PiggiePalace, or anyone else for that matter of course.

Thanks BB

 

Me too! - even though I have the necessary supplies ....I really don;t want to be flooded again, full stop.

But.... if the flood defences already installed firstly by myself and secondly an extra  "add-on" in terms of doors by the EA, don;t stand up, it will be karma for the insurance company because they didn't properly handle my last claim so hopefully I will get my wonky floors rectified. Karma is a wonderful thing!

Hope you;re OK where you are and not at risk from this current severe weather.

Up to 18mm so far and it's still belting down out there a little bit of wind but not as bad as I was expecting. Looks like the whole of the south east coast is on a flood alert tonight with the high tides. Might have to get the snorkel out to walk the dogs tomorrow.

Up to 20 mm now and still going. I think Coast has left his tap on or something. Oh well his water bill I guess.

The rain was coming down like something out of a black and white movie setting the scene in such a way as to tell the audience that it's raining really hard when we took the dog out tonight. Had to cheat via crossing the roads in such a way the dog didn't spot we were circling back much earlier than usual - despite his initial reluctance to go out when it's raining, once the dog is out, he takes the view that he might as well have a normal walk and just shakes off the water every few minutes. My coat and trousers do not share this ability, hence the walk is an uncleverly disguised short one!

 

Anyway, in short, it's been raining really hard. Seems a little lighter now.

[Whereisthesnow?]

Raining hard in Bexleyford. No doubt SE Trains will struggle tomorrow morning due to rain on the track....

[Fatboypirate]

Same here up to 19mm of rain for the day, 10 of that in the last hour, interestingly, the intensity has peaked at 57mm/hour, still a long way behind a peak at over 80mm/hour I recorded late July. Winds up now as well, gusting at 22, running at 10 - 15mph. Pressure still going down now at 984mb.

John that's really teasing us. Fingers crossed though eh!

[Bluebreezer54]

The excellent Bognor Regis webcam seems to confirm it was a very high tide along the South Coast tonight, highest I have seen it since viewing that cam. On that note has anyone seen the incredible footage of the waves crashing onto the promenade at Aberystwyth last night ?  I tried to post a link earlier, but it wouldn't work.

Aha, I see the link is now working.

[john pike]

have a look at the wind and pressure charts

 

the low has not crossed us yet

 

but at present a direct southerly does not help

 

it will change soon so keep watching this

Rain still heavy here. The wind is also picking up. Right, I'm off to bed.... Goodnight all.

[Rob Deacon]

[john pike]

[Guest bjaykent]

hi bjaykent

 

also remember its the ultra reliable 18z run

Daily Express Headlines tomorrow no doubt

 

p.s. sorry BB just seen you post before mine about Bognor webcam, that will teach me not to update for a while!

[tadpole]

I've discovered I can't go to bed with out reading the JP weather reports. Interest has turned in OCD!

I can now go to bed, night night.

[john pike]

blimey that webcam looks lively

[Cyclonic]

It relatively quite here on IOW, the odd gust. Had some pretty heavy rainfall this evening though

[snow raven]

Raining in Bexleyheath, nothing out of the ordinary. Is heavier rain expected? And when do the winds arrive?

[Bluebreezer54]

 

p.s. sorry BB just seen you post before mine about Bognor webcam, that will teach me not to update for a while!

No worries BJ, I should have posted a link to the cam anyway. High Tide was at 10.31pm there but the sea doesn't seem to be retreating much. Fair play to Bognor though, that has to be one of the highest quality live webcams I have seen.

 

Thanks as always to JP for his hard work and regular updates.

[alexisj9]

Wind is really picking up here now, hopefully won't get much stronger. Not sounding to different to last week, before the strongests gust got here.

[Snow and storms]

Really howling in hastings. Back edge of the rain band has just passed through and it almost sounds worst than last mondays event.

[Cyclonic]

wind seems to be picking up again, and more frequent gusts

[yamkin]

The ppn seems to be pivoting on it's axis = more rain

[john pike]

http://xcweather.co.uk/GB/observations

 

south coast still around 40-50 mph winds on a south westerly veering westerly

 

will drop as soon as that low buggers off

 

odd the centre of the low has not moved too far yet

 

as yamks said

 

the rain to our north-north west looks dropping back south-south east
