Met office weather warnings for heavy rain, severe gales and snow

[OhYouMerryLittleKitten]

Going to be an eventful few days. Have been discussing it in te Christmas weather thread but I think they need highlighting. met office warnings

It's icy here today, not majorly as quite a soft frost. Definitely different to the plus temperatures we've been having.

0.2 here at 9am in Surrey Hills. Frosty, blue sky and calm - quite a pleasant change! I'll clean out my chickens this morning before the rain hits this afternoon.

We reached -1c but it is +1 now and already clouding over :(

Will start a new thread in a little bit, this one is nearly full.

Clouding over here too. The sky was amazing here this morning I got a really good picture.

Perhaps I shouldn't have been asleep!

If you are a cold lover then look away now.....

There has been some talk of the weather turning more seasonal. It does look set to calm down after Tuesday but it remains unsettled. There may be more in the way of snow esp for northern hilly areas and perhaps to lower levels. However if you look to the east, Europe remains warmer than expected for this time of year according to GFS and at the end of the model run on the 20th of Jan the jet stream wins again with another deep low. This year it may be that the jet stream is too strong for any blocking highs to win out. We shall see.

There seems to be a band of rapidly advancing rain on the radar. We may not be getting the break from rain for a few hours that we had hoped for.

Before mid afternoon as earlier predicted? So glad I don't have to go anywhere today. The road will be flooded tomorrow though which means an extra long nursery run.

I'm actually not sure now! Rain reaches the IOW by lunchtime. Could have sworn it was faster earlier.
This band of rain doesn't look to heavy on the radar at least.

Been mainly sunny all morning, but lightly greyed over. it is lighter/brighter/sunnier southwards in the sky so may be coming here or maybe not
7degrees

Managed a trip to the park with the LOs this morning
Plenty of mud and puddles about but was lovely to just get out.

Fed up of grey skies and rain.

We managed to pop out today feel much better now, we had a frost but it soon disappeared so we snuck out for a hour before it started raining, winds starting to pick up now but the rains not very heavy (hopefully it will stay that way).

Rain band doesn't actually look too bad today on the radar :)

That's the good news.

met office warnings out for high winds tomorrow along southern and western coasts once again bringing the risk of coastal flooding.

Have you seen that surfer thing Kitten magicseaweed.com/news/atlantic-code-red-incoming/5954/ ?

Also I think time for a new thread in case this one fills up.

Will start one in a mo when I'm on the computer. I hadn't looked at magic seaweed recently. Just got something else flooding related to sort out first. Grrrr.

new thread this way

getting precariously full.
