It was only a yellow warning ("Be Aware"), so you didn't necessarily
have to keep the cat and the washing in. Now if it were a red one
("Take Action") you might've been justified in keeping them in ;-)

The SE got off with very little but some places in the 'yellow' area have had 30mm, http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/cgi-b...ORT =2&INT=24

Quite honestly, it would be good if it stayed dry long enough here to put the washing out.

Still, weatherwise a good weekend on the way for most.

Just started here at 1.04pm - though was a small pulse of rain about 40
minutes
ago. Wasn't expecting it until 4ish - but managed to get my painting
done and
dry this morn

Boughton-under-Blean north Kent coast.

Moderate rain started at 1155 gmt.


Just 1.1 mm here much less than I thought going by all the warnings and hype
and the timing for the 'event' from the BBC this morning was diabolical to
say the least.

Now a pleasant afternoon with glimpses of sun and a light south easterly !

Something is drastically amiss with the weather - it certainly isn't
doing as it's told by the models! Worked in my favour today as the
forecast yesterday was for heavy rain all afternoon in London with
strong winds. I carried on with my anniversary river trip and it was
dry, bright and totally calm on the upper deck of the boat on the
Thames!! In fact didn't spillany tea on my scones ;-)

Yes started in SE London around 11am and thank god for the yellow warnings I say, as I was able to prepare and not put my washing out and the cat out,



It's those poor ignorant basttards I feel sorry for , who wern't prepared I dare say someone somewhere got wet such a tragedy but it would be wrong to blame UKMO as they have spared no efforts to get this perilous rain warning out to the nation...



Looks like its easing up a bit so I may risk going out in the car. But those poor people who got hit by stray drops ,my heart goes out to them and I speak for all of us when I say our thoughts and brollies are with them.



How much more AGW extreme weather battering can poor old blighty take?

Apparently Alan Rusbridgers toupée got a bit damp outside Guardian Towers earlier. Expect more old AGW ******** in tomorrows edition

Is that the one he shares with Pachauri ?

I believe they are a carbon tax loophole.

The fact is UKMO did not know exactly where the heaviest rain was going to hit.
We got 26.5 mm here in about 3 hours this morning so that is serious rain in my book.
And we had a few crashes of nearby thunder which scared the sh.. out of me.

Now, have you looked at the latest radar? More heavy rain on the way which might score a bullseye on London, but then you might all be tucked up in your beds by then so it will not have a consequence on your exciting lives.

Went a bit East Len. Even here East of London just 3mm from the second
lot but we did get some lightning. London (East) only got 2.5mm all day
and I think the fat lady has sung now.
