Feel sorry for the little fledglings in our garden - I know there are some young robins which have just come out of their nest...real grim weather :)

Can't belive the small differences in the region, Marlow dry hardly a breeze.. Kent pouring with rain and blowing a gale.. 

Still, models really struggled on this one and still they are all wrong.. 

 

How are they all wrong?

PPN intensity and totals, all off at the moment hard to tell which is closest to the mark after this mornings massive shift east, which looks wrong now 

Yep whole thing still moving west slightly, may even clear the SE in a few hours unless it stalls. Been raining since about 2 yearsterday afternoon.

I did think the big East swing this morning look quite suspect based on the radar from yesterday evening and overnight.

Probably METO orginal warning was close to the mark, current warning isn't west enough I suspect.

Plenty more to come from the East and it's extremely slow moving. So many flood alerts out now. Most of Ashford is covered by one for the Stour.

Rain rates up to 5mm/hour now, heavier bursts in between. I don't think it's going to clear until 9-10pm.

Apparently it's snowing in Rouen in Northern France, so cold air wrapped up down there. I wonder if that will head north to cover our region with any wintriness?

Yep the rain is getting heavier up over the downs, and funneling into the rivers, Canterbury will probably have a few problems around the stour too. Even the dour looked high this morning.

No chance, temps in London now 7c and expected to rise to around 8c despite the persistent rain.:)

Rain has started here. A strong and gusty N’ly wind is making the shockingly bad 5C here feel sub zero. Grim!

Truly yukky out there. Car temperature is showing 6 degrees, but with the biting wind it is freezing. Yesterday felt little better along the South Bank, where a stiff breeze seemed to be coming off the Thames making things feel very cold - especially for the wedding couple with the bride very 'lightly' dressed for photographs (her midriff must have been really regretting that clothing choice). Last night I gave up for the dog walk and reluctantly got out the winter coat again. Roll on next weekend.

Snowfall in Normandy/Rouen area, northern France this morning:

https://actu.fr/societe/neige-normandie-fortes-pluies-alerte-vigilance-orange-plusieurs-departements-eure-seine-maritime-calvados_16595792.html

Only 11 days after 27-28C was reported in the area.

I wonder if the highest parts of the downs might see a bit of sleetyness. Probably not.

Unfortunately I am to far north and west (Harrow) although raining steadily in central. May seem bizzare to want it to shift west, although ever since I purchased a waterbutt the rain always seems to miss us / be light. I suspect I have jinxed the storms too

Looks like the western edge is beginning to go back east now, right on time. 

I think for areas West of Central London this was a dodge a bullet day. Its hardly rained and the wind is standard. In fact the sun just tried to peep through here in Marlow 

For areas east of London and into Norfolk you guys unfortunately have a fair few hours of rain to come as this system pulls away... 

But nowhere near as bad as we were expecting or looking at a few days ago. 

Edit: rain band loosing a lot of intensity also over last half hour

North West London has been spared the heavy rain, strange because the rain is as far west in the south as the IOW and extends up towards Norfolk but NW of London there has been like a dent in the heavier PPN. Probably would not have been cold enough for snow even in a winter month though, temps in the SE way too mild at 5-8c, if it was Feb maybe 2-5c so still not cold enough for snow, maybe sleet.

Just one word for here, vile! I mean really vile, this is not me being OTT, and I am not joking one bit, its vile, vile, vile. Strong gusty winds, heavy now moderate rain, vile! Not often that I get the green guy out now is it!:bad:

Yes, looks like our area has at least been spared the rain, must be dire further east. Windy here though and gloomy, just 7C, very poor.

No rain here either in Cambridge - despite being under ppn echoes on the radar all day, barring a bit of drizzle early doors, it's been dry here too. Dodged one I think!
