South West and Central Southern England Regional Weather Discussion 19/01/2018 Onwards

22mm in Warminster. I noticed by radar watching for much of the day that the heaviest rain pulsed from the Bristol Channel across Somerset and began to weaken as it got to Wiltshire.

Lovely outside now ; no wind, no rain, not cold, no clear sky either though!

[festivalking]

Wow missed all the rain here. And this area is renowned for being the wet side of the moor.  Just had fog and drizzle. 

[karlos1983]

Shade over 10mm in the end here today. 

Flooding is horrible, sorry for those who’ve had to deal with that today, it ruins absolutely everything in its path. 

[Mapantz]

Interesting to see the rain off of the tip of Ireland is out of kilter with some models.

NetWx SR shows nothing affecting the SW, the Euro4 does. 

                Euro4 for midnight:                                   NetWx SR for 11pm

  

                   Current radar

Certainly further north than forecasted. Guess that means more rain than expected overnight then. GFS barely has it touching the S Coast, that looks well out going by the latest radar.

[Mapantz]

Looking ahead to Wednesday.. a vigorous cold front moves across. I wonder if it'll break up when it get's to this locale? lol

 

[Frosty hollows]

The temperature gradient is seriously impressive.  1C at 3pm with cold rain. Now 10 C.

That's strange. Their run-through graphic shows rain across Dorset and Hampshire, yet their app shows nothing noteworthy. However, their rainfall map on the app is also out compared to the radar.

Yes. Odd. This is what I had back from them.

Not seen a day quite this wet in a long time. Another miserable drive to work through all floods again in morning as if mondays are not bad enough 

My outhouse is dripping wet too from the missing roof panel from the last storm we had too

Yes. Really didn’t anticipate it being quite this wet today. Plus more to come this week. Grim isn’t the word for it. This winter can b@gger off now, unless it can sort itself out, I don’t want to know anymore!

[Mapantz]

I'm surprised by this, as the 18Z normally catches up if it has been struggling with precip.

That was certainly a rapid warm up.

Good morning all

 

I have the week off I'm not sure i picked the right week ?

[knocker]

The front and moderate rain have cleared here now clear skies.

[khodds]

Rain cleared through here, was looking like it was going to be a nice day but fog is descending now!

[jethro]

Oh my goodness, it's actually stopped raining after what turned out to be a positively vile weekend weatherwise. I've got an old pond that I emptied and removed the liner from, yesterday it was very nearly full with water, a combination of what was falling and rising water levels in the ground, everything is absolutely saturated around here. Wouldn't want to be living on the Somerset levels this week, can see it causing problems again when all that rain filters down off these hills.

[karlos1983]

What’s this blue stuff and bright yellow thing in the sky when I look up.... 

Wednesday looks particularly wet, can’t wait

[matt111]

The yellow thing was in the sky with the blue colour here too but now it’s returned to its normal grey colour.

Yes, we are beginning to reach saturation, I noticed that in the garden yesterday, the water is certainly not running off now as it did in the previous weeks. Suspect by Friday we will begin to see some flood warnings as the water begins to move down from the hills.
