SE, London and East Anglia regional discussion - 5th Sept 21 onwards

1st morning in a long time, where i've put a hoodie on lol, some heavy rain and strong winds as that squall line came through, summer is over. I've just seen a post on Facebook, from the Midlands storm chasing group, about a rapidly deepening dartboard low for sunday. Certainly looks very impressive, though a long way off

Woken at 6am by noise of high wind.    Max temperature today: 18C at 16:25.  Currently 13C

3.6mm of rain has fallen today.  Max rain rate of 5.06 at 08:48

Weather highlight(s) of the day -  Dodged heavy shower for morning dog walk.  Big drop in temperature reminded me to book chimney sweep's annual visit!

Just see the NW storm forecast, not sure whether to laugh or cry tbh. 

[Weatherman_93]

Certainly felt the chill this morning at 7am. Currently very breezy with a lot of cloud cover. Just waiting for the rain now.

Pathetic innit? Two more 'cool and unsettled' days have passed and still the ground is like concrete.. And I'm still working outdoors wearing a tank top! Autumnal it ain't!

I'm on the last day of my 3 week caravan touring trip and me and Mrs Blessed are stuck in the van in the Cotswolds whilst it absolutely p*ddles down outside - three hours solid so far. It's quite some band of rain, but will it be so potent by the time it reaches you Pete?

Alternatively, if this afternoon's GFS 12z forecast for Sat night/Sunday morning comes about it might finally bring autumn to the Costa del Beccles!

I guess that after months of dry, benign weather and umpteen failed severe weather warnings, I've become somewhat 'immunised'!

So do I. I am the most irritable, tetchiest person in the world when we have long spells without rain. I haven't been on here for ages because the weather has been sooooo boring. Its good to be back !

Supposed to be camping down at Orsett for a two day dog show, but as it's still impossible to get diesel round here, I'll probably just go down to judge on the Saturday - at least the Mini is pretty full and only sips petrol. Can't be asked to put up windbreaks etc if the weather's going to be rough either...

Right 

15°c weather is the best when you want snow

Weather highlight of the day -  our dog has just gone to the door, took one look at the latest downpour, turned around and put himself into his bed.  Yay! -  must admit, I didn't fancy a walk in the dark, rain and mud.
