Amber warnings today

NW
mentioned this in yesterdays thread, but really I should have bought it into its own thread. Looks pretty serious to be honest as there could be 100mm+ over densely populated areas. I hope that regional news stations have been highlighting the concern??

Iseenno - strong sw gusts for tomorrow, but I don't think youll get more than some showers.

Thank you. We might just need a bun stop in the cafe then . Still high winds & rain here at moment.

DS has his summer camp this weekend....under canvas!!!!

It's been very wet here today, torrential rain, followed by steady drizzle, interspersed with occasional damp patches. The wind has been blustery or calm - going from one to the other as bands move through I think.

hermionestranger - to give you some idea of the conditions DS will face, the campsite is in the Marple area!!

Manky is it in the mellor area? We're in Mottram in Longdendale it is wet!

Yes, it is!

Took me two weeks to get his hiking bots clean last time - they had a county camp last May/June, and it was beyond muddy - goodness knows what it will be like now. I've sent a supply of black bin bags, so hopefully I will just open them and tip the kit in the machine!

Good planning. I know that site well and k expect ds1 will be going there soon now he's in beavers.

Lying here in cosy bed listening to torrential rain....very glad that Guides festival was cancelled!!!!
