I mean its all very well leaving in the morning but what about coming home ((

Luke, your easy-to-understand explanations, and the charts you make an effort to post, are invaluable - try to ignore those who have a different agenda - we love you!

Sorry if that was my child and I was in the warning zone... NO BLOODY WAY... I'm afraid as my daughter's mother I reserve the right to pull her out of any trip I was not happy about. Surely other parents must feel as you, I bet you're not the only one

[Snowangel-MK]

Somerset ... Shocking !

Feel so sad for people that this is could be happening in our own country - it looks like something we normally see on the news from places like Bangladesh when they are asking for disaster relief aid !

thats from 6th Feb

[john pike]

hi floaty

 

look at these

 

 

 

 

 

think the answer on that is tricky to your questions

 

but 40-50 mph gusts and heavy rain pm

 

not going to be pleasant

 

if its an outdoor activity arranged i would not bother

[Alixzandra]

@Floatyboat - I don't have timings, but I'm sure someone else can help you with that.  The school surely has a bad weather policy/risk assessments procedure for such trips and that should kick in with severe weather warnings in place? I'd perhaps ring the school in the morning and ask, as bad weather is coming will they be re-assessing any non-essential travel?  All the best.  

 

Here it is down to a chilly 3.8 degrees, dry and calm - OH has gone off to see the Albion vs Leeds match, won't be so calm there in abit methinks :-)

[NO LONGER POSTING]

John I am right in saying that the models update for the 18z at about 9pm right?

[NO LONGER POSTING]

 

Look at that Azores high waiting to pounce on us in spring and summer     HOPE CAST!!!!

[Keraunic]

thats from 6th Feb

Oops! So it is. It still seems a tad excessive though. Very calm here. Not a breath of wind. But it's damn chilly.

KEY BOARD WARRIORS!!!!! LOL

Edit: It feels like though, you go to the time and effort to pull up charts, look at them and compare them to the old ones, then work out what is going on and inform people of you're thoughts, and then they have a go at you? Some really odd people on this planet. At least I got a bunch of good peeps in here

I really don't understand why some people are in the mod thread because if the weather is not to their liking it is boring weather according to them. They have no acceptance of anything other than snow and how anyone can say the recent storms, wind, rain and floods are boring is beyond me. Extreme weather has consequences and that is what we are experiencing now. Your points made perfect sense Surrey but I would leave the mod thread to bicker amongst themselves and stay in here, which is well policed, because if anyone made similar comments in this thread MK will descend upon them from a great height.

Down to 4c but no wind.

[Rendaridra]

The wind has got up here...in fact it is gusting quite a lot

are you having a blow wave

[john pike]

i said i would not get my haircut until it snows

 

hippie comes to mind now

 

hi chris i had to read your last comment twice

[East_England_Stormchaser91]

Bloominheck Surrey. Hope it doesn't get any worse mate, scary stuff. 

On the other hand, I finally saw some snow for once up in Lincolnshire as the front sweeped through. It was a raging blizzard at one point. Seemed hard to believe I was seeing it haha. Only lasted for half an hour unfortunately though. 

Overall, the forecasts are not promising for a dry out, and more heavy rain looks to take the headline once more. This is getting way out of hand now and beyond belief. I really hope it stops very soon

[Snowangel-MK]

are you having a blow wave

Not by the hairdresser but I think I will be when I step outside to go to the theatre with mini me (a lovely gift from mr P bless him as he knows wizard of oz is one of my favourite films) I will probably resemble the witch from the west by the time we get there !

Surrey / Luke - sorry to see the flood water is so close to you now, I hope the sand bags keep your home safe - maybe it's time to think about moving what you can upstairs just in case the unthinkable happens, fingers crossed it won't be necessary :-(
