Midlands Regional Discussion

[Summer of 95]

Finally a nice sunny afternoon, we seem to have dodged all the gunk for once.

[MattStoke]

Rainfall totals up to 1pm Saturday from the Euro4 model. Around 55 mm for here.

[Summer of 95]

And it's suddenly started raining, 2 days without is too much for this month obviously

[tinybill]

looking  at the radar  in your area the next 48 hours  are not looking very nice  at all  keep safe and  dry!!

[Summer of 95]

Radar looking very ominous, enough to make me do the dog walk at 8.30 in the morning in case I can't do it again today... First spots just arriving now

I'm saving myself.. Waiting for the rain here then getting waterproofs on to take the dogs.

Not looking forward to more rain and cold rain ️ but looking forward to a more seasonal frosty foggy mornings and sunny days next week... Off to Ashbourne for a meet up with great friends from Kent and lunch at country pub today.... 

[MattStoke]

Amazed there are still no warnings for here. Models all showing in excess of 50mm of rain for this area. We normally get warnings when half that is predicted!

[Midlands Ice Age]

Just had a 10 min burst of quite heavy rain, which popped up in the south Midlands.

Checking the RADAR it has now developed further and most of the Midlands is now covered in rainfall, and in places its getting quite heavy.  

Rainfall RADAR now looking decidedly wet for today!

MIA

[MattStoke]

Finally, a warning covering the Midlands. Not sure what took them so long when its been obvious for days!

[Polar Maritime]

Just got back with the dogs, Absolutely lashing it down here and plenty more to come looking at radar. As Matt says re updated warnings for our area I agree it was pretty obvious and did wonder myself..

[WillinGlossop]

Back home now but thoroughly recommend the rose and crown in mayfield for their food and hospitality...

torrential rain currently 9c and been raining since I left this morning at 1030am.... the gusts of wind bringing remaining leaves down in streams...

[MattStoke]

Looks absolutely minging in Stoke.....

….and the weather doesn't look good either.

Going to be a fun swim home from work.

[Polar Maritime]

Relentless heavy rain continues here with winds touching gale force at times and plenty more to come on radar.

About an inch has fallen here so far and there is so much surface water everywhere. It goes to show how sodden the ground is. We're going to have some major flooding issues if this is a wet winter.

Just been out late night shopping and almost every road into the village is flooded. Had to take long diversions rather than risk it, those annoying floods where you don't know if it's 3 inches or 3 feet deep. Still raining relentlessly

Should be about 2 inches by the time it clears.

At least after this it looks dry for a few days.

Early predictions from me for the wettest November on record, last few GFS runs suggesting no dry weather at all from 1st

[MattStoke]

No trains out of Stoke this morning due to flooding in various locations. 

Means I’m going to miss my Fluid Mechanics lecture, because of too much fluid.

GFS does love to overdo low pressure systems though. Hope that’s the case.

[Terminal Moraine]

47.1 mm of rain in the 24 hrs up to 0800 g.m.t is the second largest daily total on record here in October ( since 1977). The October record is 49.6 mm on the 22nd in 1998.

Since the new update the GFS hasn't over done low pressure systems anywhere near to the extent it use too. It did very well with this very wet spell progging it first out of all the models last weekend it did well a couple of weekends back too its not perfect obviously but it's done well recently..
