OYBK - Is this rain ever going to stop or should I start building my Ark!

[Saltire]

Getting really really fed up with it now. I actually think it's partly to cause for my depresion coming back, I am feeling so down ATM.
I get soaked twice a day walking midnees to school. I ahve 3 airers ful of wet washing all over the house, the heating on to dry it all, and muddy dog pawprints everywhere.

I want someone to turn the tap off please

Metoffice have given the South-West a warning for heavy rain, for tomorrow afternoon/evening.

Thats the start of this approaching storm. Gloria.
I'm going to attempt to cycle into town this afternoon. Not done it for months (before I got poorly).

I thought it was (the start of the rain) coming our way.
Ooo don't overdo it, OYBBK. Take it slowly.

slow as a snail!

I don't get it-originally today had heavy rain forecast and it was a lovely day.The the rain was forecast for Wednesday,but the BBC weather showed a fine day-met office show rain.BBC said Thursday would be fine-met office have given a severe weather warning.I'm trying to rearrange work and they aren't helping matters.

The BBC get their weather forecasts wrong all the time. You're best off using another website.

I think the day to day detail is really tricky atm - its so unsettled but in general I'd stick with the met office. The rain is due to move into the sw tomorrow, spreading across much of the rest of the uk overnight. Severe weather warnings for much of the south, and also parts of the midlands and southern Wales.

I find their rainfall radar quite accurate, within 24 hours. I find their wind forecast way, way out. So I tend to go for a few different sites.

Well it is a good job I didn't take any notice of the forecast and rearrange a day's work.It was fine and warm until 3pm when I finished and then we had a light shower.

I think thats the best way to play it mirage at the moment. Forecast has been bang on target here today.

Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woo-hoo!!! Fine weekend for many of us once the stuff in the north clears away. Bad weather returns for Scotland on Sunday afternoon, returning to the usual dross for all over the course of Monday.

It's rained here (Edinburgh) solidly yesterday and after a brief dry spell this morning it looks set to do the same again today. A ray of sunshine tomorrow would be most welcome.

Apparently there was one day of hot sunshine yesterday here in London, while I was in Brussels (where it was raining, natch)
At lest, halleleujah!!!, the rain held off again today (tho' not hot) so DS2 could finally play a game of cricket, after every other one this term has been cancelled.
They lost

More sunshine here!
Anyone else having a mad washing day before the next lot of rain moves in? My washing line's groaning under the weight of it all!

Apologies to western Scotland; I didn't notice they had a weather warning covering them.

I've been neglecting them too - oops. Insanely busy over the past few days. ( and rather exhausted this evening) it was lovely to have sun though.

would have issued a heads up about the potential for storms today if mn hadnt been down, especially for the western side of central southern England. Any reports of good hail?

Hail-tastic in Hampshire this afternoon.

Awful hailstorm in Leics at 3pm.I had to run for cover into the stable and the yard was just awash with water afterwards.

It's still so unsettled!

Pleeeeaaaaaasaase someone say we'll have perfectly pleasant spring weather by next weekend!

Well, the gfs is showing much happier things next week. It's only just switching to this scenario so don't get too excited in case it's having a mad moment, but It is looking both drier and warmer Starting in the se and spreading. Eastern coastal temps look disappointing but for many of us, if it is right- much better.

Any thoughts about June OYBBK? Pondering whether to book a camping trip for my bday weekend (16-17 June). We're in Norfolk.

OYBBK, Eastern coastal temps couldn't be much more disappointing than what we've got in Edinburgh today......6C with and East wind. It's bizzare, feels like winter, but not dark till 10pm.
