Have you.guys seen this http://www.torro.org.uk/site/forecast.php

Wow, hopefully there aren't any! I remember a mini tornado hitting a part of London and damaging houses, not too long ago!

[Bluebreezer54]

There is no such thing as a 'mini tornado'. That is just a term used by the lazy media when reporting events here in the UK.

Afternoon

 

Managed to dodge being out in the rain both early this morning and again this afternoon, been a cold, windy and wet day, just started to rain again here, this is a stop inside evening for me again.

That's a good read and thanks for posting the link Paul. It really is a bugbear of mine.

[Bogman]

Well that was nice. A torrential wall of rain just swept through PB.

 

Amazing shower.

[Jax]

not like we get mini rain or mini sun or mini wind I suppose.

Is a mini hurricane just a gale then?

I think I got mini rain today, it's called drizzle 

Pretty much a non event here, a grey and damp morning followed by a sunny afternoon. Congrats to all the lucky so and sos who got their fix.

only if it is a proper cooper.

[Daniel*]

Well a horrid start to the morning, it then brightened up and was rather lovely - now it is absolutely lashing down, October showing its face

[Captain Shortwave]

Oh now it's raining, just when I walked to the shops 

[Crepuscular Ray]

Couple of hefty showers during the afternoon, with a biting breeze. No thunder/lightning, though.

[HammerJack]

Pretty clear here now, breeze has dropped, and it felt pleasant during my run tonight. Unlucky captain haha. I've been caught out like that many a time. Just got to roll with it.

[Harps]

Certainly an interesting day in Essex, lots of flash flooding after persistent heavy rain all morning followed by torrential showers in the afternoon. Saw one manhole in the road cast to one side with water bubbling out over a foot in the air.

[Captain Shortwave]

Looks like we will continue to see showers until the start/middle of next week. The winds will fall light from Friday onwards. Fog could also become an issue.
