Well, I am a Weather Goddess, dontcha know.

Oh, so you're the bugger who turns on the taps 3 mins before school pick-up time, when everyone who has decided to walk is, by now, too far away from home to run back and get the car...

(Years since I did a school run, but I remain bitter.)

East Mids and it’s been so grey and gloomy and raining lots. I know we need it but I don’t have to like it. I would have liked the odd drop during the blistering summer, more evened out.
The fields near me are a quagmire and very slippy so it’s street walks for the dogs pretty much from now until Spring. Unless we have some hard frosts but that’s crap for school
runs and work commutes. Neither of which affect me but still.

I hate the rain if I have to go somewhere but quite like it if I am inside . But trying to do outside repairs on property and that is a nuisance .

All fell as snow here. Been snowed in since Wednesday. Starting to thaw here. Snow is prettier but it’s going to be a very slushy few days.

Today's Forecast:

After a wet start, rain will give way to intermittent showers, interspersed with outbreaks of rain.

As the day progresses, rainclouds will blow in from the west, bringing with them
the chance of rain-based precipitation until the early evening, when the weather will finally settle down and it will rain constantly.

Tomorrow's outlook: Downpours
with occasional intervals of rain.

I spent most of this afternoon walking round Camden market in the rain. It was a bit miserable tbh

Apart from the other weekend, then more recently frost and ice, it hasn't rained much today or yesterday, in fact it's been quite sunny.

I was reading just before when we do have heavy rain, about the ongoing and worsening problem of sewage overflow into the streams and rivers by the water companies 😠

It's a big problem. Our MP has been challenging Yorkshire Water about this.

I think it is immoral that the CEOs of the water companies still receive their bonuses. Bonuses for what? In my career I have only received bonuses when targets have been reached or exceeded, and the water companies have done anything but.

Hosepipe ban here for the forseeable, although it doesn't affect us now.

Ah, sorry about that. It'll be one my junior goddesses, they can get a bit carried away sometimes.

I welcome the rain given how low the rivers and ponds were, just wish it was at times I am not travelling!

Livpool · 23/11/2025 16:20

I agree - once it rains it forgets to stop. My asthma really hates the damp too so had lots of exacerbations

GreenMoonLeaf · 22/11/2025 16:58

It’s hardly rained and we really need rain. Reservoirs here still very low. YABU.

It depends where you are though - aside from
last week here it has rained pretty much constantly.

Have you got decent waterproofs? I work outside too and swear by Berghaus.
