Here we go folks....get ready to man the lifeboats there is more to come....

 

link to the previous thread here...http://forum.netweather.tv/topic/78918-south-east-east-anglia-regional-weather-discussion-311213/page-41

 

and a reminder of the MetO warnings......

 

Yellow Warning of Rain for London & South East England :

 

Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, Greater London, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Medway, Portsmouth, Southampton, Surrey, West Sussex, Bracknell Forest, West Berkshire, Windsor and Maidenhead, Wokingham & Slough

 

Yellow Warning of Rain for East of England :

 

Thurrock

 

 

A spell of heavy rain is likely to affect southern parts of England during the first half of Saturday, clearing eastwards early in the afternoon. A further 20 to 30 mm of rain is likely in places and much of this could fall within a 6-hour period. Further heavy showers may move eastwards later on Saturday.

 

The public should be aware of the risk of further localised surface water flooding and disruption to travel.

 

This warning has been updated to include southwest England.

 

Issued at:

1645 on Fri 3 Jan 2014

 

Valid from:

0005 on Sat 4 Jan 2014

 

Valid to:

1400 on Sat 4 Jan 2014

 

A developing frontal system will move northeastwards across England and Wales on Saturday. The heaviest rain is likely to be across southern areas where, with ground already saturated, further localised flooding is likely.

 

 

Yellow Alert of Rain for London & South East England :

 

Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Portsmouth, Southampton, Surrey, West Sussex & Medway.

 

Outbreaks of rain, heavy at times, will move east across the UK on Sunday accompanied by strong winds. Quite widespread accumulations of 10-15 mm are likely across southern areas with locally in excess of 30 mm possible over some higher ground.

 

This additional rainfall, following the recent very wet weather, means that the public should be aware of an increased risk of both surface water and river flooding as well as disruption to transport.

 

This warning has been updated to extend the risk of disruption into Wales.

Issued at:

1629 on Fri 3 Jan 2014

 

Valid from:

0900 on Sun 5 Jan 2014

 

Valid to:

2359 on Sun 5 Jan 2014

 

Another spell of wet and windy weather will affect the British Isles on Sunday as a new, large deep depression develops over the Atlantic Ocean. The associated frontal system is then expected to move eastwards across Britain, perhaps not clearing the far east and southeast until Monday morning.

Is that the stratospheric warming thing which drains the heat out, or have I got totally the wrong end of the stick (as usual - also confirmed by the dogs who wanted to continue their walk even when the heavens were about to open, again)?

hi chris

 

i think at present you should be ok

 

will be windy but as it should stay fairly dry before

 

the rain sets in you should be home before flooding becomes an issue

 

its quite a tricky call this one

Suppose I could always have an attempt at selling it to some forum in the USA or Canada as they seem to have a little bit of snow over there at the moment.

Ah yes, the beach at Weston Super Mare with Lundy Island brought artificially closer by the refraction of the light off the mudflats.  I remember it well from my childhood.   A few bargains in January as well.  All you need, Ali, for the complete package, is a donkey....
