North West Regional Discussion 3 June 2020 onwards

[iand61]

Well I got the power washing done and, apart from about 15 minutes, it stopped fine so not to fussed what the rest of the day throws at us providing it’s not flooding.

 

[Rain Lady]

 

Thumping it down here - as it has been most of the day.  As so often, straight from Dublin to our back door.

 

[Badgers01]

dodged a bullet for Keswick area I think today , although it is setting in a bit presently but wont last ...?

[itsnowjoke]

Chucking it down here

[Rain Lady]

Heavy rain and strong wind continuing in the black dark.   Sounds like the whole of the Atlantic is being thrown at us.

October rain total was 262.3 mm. This was the third wettest October in last 50yrs.  Beaten by 1980 with 374.0 mm and 2000 with 393.4 mm.

October average is 158.0mm.

Hopefully November will be the driest in the last 50 years but I wouldn’t bet my last fiver on it.

Driest Nov was in 1993 with only 56.7 mm !   Same kit same site.   We'll be not far off that by morning    

[Day 10]

These warnings skirting around the Wirral have been an absolute nonsense, has been and still is thumping it down like everywhere else in the region. 

[Had Worse]

On the edge of the red colours but very windy indeed. Rain stopped for a short while.

[iand61]

Flood warnings starting appear now for the more prone areas and plenty more rain and wind to come.

stay safe everyone 

[Rain Lady]

Does anyone know if today's vile weather in the NW was caused  by a "Named Storm"?    Has Aidan gone ?      Zeta now  in N Scotland says telly weather man.  But what about us?   

[Iceaxecrampon]

Presume Zeta is an ex hurricane and what we are getting is the edge of that with the main storm well up in the North Atlantic 

[Thunder Snow]

All rivers on flood alert in carlisle 

[Rain Lady]

Friend in Lunesdale, nr Carnforth, says his automatic gauge has recorded 38mm so far today since midnight.

 

[Thunder Snow]

Thankfully it looks like the heaviest of the rain is pulling away from the upper eden catchment 

[itsnowjoke]

Still going here

[damianslaw]

A miserable day, heavy rain this afternoon, very heavy be evening, localised flooding everywhere. Thankfully the forecasted heavy rains of Friday and Saturday didn't come to fruition, meaning we've been spared more serious conditions. One more wet day tomorrow then something drier..

[Thunder Snow]

Looking at the rivers Eden and Caldew upper catchments are still raising 

[Rain Lady]

65-68 mm in central Bowland fells today, recorded by automatic gauges near reservoir and water treatment sites.

Rivers flooding.   Problems currently Lancaster area.
