How have the MetO not got any warnings or advisories for that rain?? Is it below their trigger or something? Doesn't make sense that not even an yellow advisory is out...

the rain has all but stopped where I am in Bmouth for now but amazing contrasts in the sky. sun almost poking through and every shade of grey / black in the world, surface wind is fairly strong out of NE and cold, creating some lovely swirling cloud as it meets the upper winds out of the S / SW.

It's just started absolutely chucking it down here and is so dark that if I wasn't going out I would have the lights on! Oh well, off to the Forest I go for my ploughmans (nom nom). I hate driving in the rain (thanks to an accident years ago) so will be taking it rather slowly!

8.0mm as of 11.40am here in Newbury and my location is nowhere near the heaviest precip down NF way at the moment.
If anything the heavy bursts are pulsing inland NNE'wards from the IOW and building more strongly according to NW v5 radar.
Pretty cold for August too, is it not! only 11.7c and 98% humidity.
Thunder or no Thunder, today will be a memorable day for some.
Cheers

Formally STORMBOY, come visit my Blog http://naturestimeline.wordpress.com/ and you'll learn more about this slightly eccentric anorak, who goes by the name of Tony!
For those that may be interested, I have a weather station that can viewed via the above link or directly via Weather Underground at http://www.wundergro...ation=IWESTBER2
Finally, if I may quote Mr. Data.
"Wasn't it enough that we lived through the coldest December for over 100 years that no one alive has experienced?"

Biblical deluge just started here.
My 3 boys are bored with being shut up indoors. Perhaps they should do something useful like build an ark!

And still nothing from Met Office? No flash warnings or anything? It may of been a bit difficult to predict but you'd assume they would of been keeping an eye on it? Too late for those area flooded now...

Their response is:
"Warnings are issued for widespread disruption. Heavy rain on the south coast is localised. Forecast mentioned heavy rain"
