Morning!

 

Chin up everyone. Maybe the pay off to all this endless rain will be an amazing summer? or even better, a very snowy winter next year?

 

I was reading through a summary of UK winters last night (I'm still trying to find out what the deepest snow cover has been in Surrey has been) and there were lots of years where really heavy snow fell at the end of Feb - even March and April - and stuck around. Anything is possible really.

[NO LONGER POSTING]

Surrey, I've been reading your river level advice with interest, i'm sorry its near you now, take care,

 

Thank you Jenny, its not good

[JennyJane1]

weather here is gloomy not raining just drizzling constantly but i guess it will start raining in earnest very soon, it usually does, feels chilly

 

I am watching out for information about this storm as it looks very bad for the weekend, the coasts such as here usually get it,

 

Having said that the wind is gusting here already not strongly but noticeably.

 

When will this end?

[SteveCoops]

Radar has sleet/snow/rain falling overhead. There is nothing falling from the sky at the moment

[TheGate]

Here we go, not good news:

 

Yellow warning of Rain

 

 

Issued at: 

1138 on Wed 29 Jan 2014

 

Valid from: 

0800 on Fri 31 Jan 2014

 

Valid to: 

0300 on Sat 1 Feb 2014

 

A further area of heavy rain will spread eastwards across the UK on Friday, clearing the southeast of England during the early hours of Saturday. 20-30 mm of rain will fall quite widely, with around 40 mm on some high ground in the southwest of England and south Wales. The heavy rain will be accompanied by strong to gale force winds.

 

The public should be aware of possible disruption, primarily due to further flooding, chiefly in areas already, or recently, affected.

 

This is an update to the warning first issued on Tuesday. 

 

Another very deep area of low pressure will spread heavy rain and strong to gale force winds eastwards across the UK during Friday, before the associated frontal systems clear the southeast of England during the early hours of Saturday. Following recent wet weather, the areas highlighted have saturated ground and are particularly sensitive to further heavy rain.

WEATHER WARNING: Rain, flooding and ice - yellow alert issued by Met Office for Sussex and specific rivers

 

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning of rain today (Wednesday, January 29) and yellow warning of ice tonight, and also warned of the risk of flooding in the region. The yellow warning of rain is valid from 12.15am today until 9pm tonight, while the yellow alert of ice is from 9pm tonight.

 

A flood alert is in place for the Rivers Eden, Eden Brook and Kent Ditch from Blindley Heath to Penshurst. A flood alert is also in place for the River Medway from Forest Row to Penshurst, including Ashurst.

 

The latest from the Met Office for these two warnings is: “Following rain from yesterday and last night, river levels have risen. Flooding is likely to occur to some low lying land and roads. No property flooding is expected at this time. Further rain is expected throughout Wednesday which will keep levels high and lead to further increases. We will continue to monitor the situation and will update this message as the situation changes.

 

And there is a flood alert for Ifield Brook, Upper River Mole, Burstow Stream and Salfords Stream including Ifield, Lowfield Heath, Charlwood, Hookwood, Bewbush, Furnace Green, Maidenbower, Crawley, Horley, Copthorne and Salfords.

 

A met office spokesman explained: “River levels are high in response to rainfall over night. The forecast for today and the rest of the week is for continued showers, possibly becoming heavy on Friday. Flooding of low lying land and roads is possible. We anticipate river levels will start to fall this morning into the early afternoon, however with an unsettled forecast they are likely to rise once again later in the week. Flooding of properties is not expected at this time. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will update this message as the situation changes.â€

 

A spokesman said: “Further rain at times on Wednesday may be locally persistent. The public should be aware of the risk of localised flooding, especially in areas where there are ongoing concerns.â€

Yellow warning of Ice

 

Issued at: 

1209 on Tue 28 Jan 2014

 

Valid from: 

2100 on Wed 29 Jan 2014

 

Valid to:

Wintry showers and falling temperatures are likely to lead to some icy surfaces late on Wednesday and during Thursday morning. Additionally, some areas may see slight falls of snow, most likely for eastern Scotland but also affecting parts of the Pennines, North York Moors and parts of East Wales. 

 

The public should be aware of some rather slippery conditions to start Thursday. A short incursion of easterly winds brings just a taste of the wintry weather experienced further east and north across Europe recently. Ice is probably the main concern but a few areas might wake to see a dusting of snow. Rather more snow looks likely over the hillier areas of northeast Britain, with a few cm in places.

Temp dropped from 4.1 at 7am to 3.1 now. Rain has been persistent for about 5 hours. If only temp had been a couple degrees colder we would have a nice covering of snow by now. So close yet so far. Sums up winter really. Hang on,should be on Moaning thread  lol.Have a good day people and just think of sunny warm springlike days.They will hopefully soon be upon us.

[EJA]

Well the temp has risen here in Brighton from 4 this morning to 4.8 now!

[JennyJane1]

Breaking news on sky, emergency government committee to meet this afternoon due to floods.

 

Metcheck gives me sleet and rain tomorrow.

 

Channel 5 weather goes me snow tomorrow.

Where ever this rain pivots will be problematic looking at the radar....

[alexisj9]

Well if it has to rain at least the temp can drop a few more degrees please, met office say 3 for my area now so dropping. Very worrying for the river levels even this light stuff has no where to go but raising ground water and river levels.

[Eskimo]

Come on guys, we all know that as long as members of parliament are safe and well, who gives a monkey's about the common man?

[Keraunic]

Will E Anglia be affected by this storm at the week-end? Particularly Suffolk.

Horrendous day here - moving to an island with less than 150mm of rain in a year is so tempting ......

Well, at the moment, it looks like heavy rain late Friday and overnight, clearing Saturday morning. The strongest winds will be early Saturday evening - strong, but not damaging. Probably scattered showers for the weekend, for Suffolk, once the rain clears.
