weather advisory issued for Sat night into tomorrow

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

met office for central uk - Heavy rain

Excellent!

DD (4y) has invented a 'rain catcher' (a bucket) to measure how much rain has been falling and has been heartily disappointed with the 1cm we've had since Thursday. A good spell of heavy rain might save her enthusiasm for meteorology.

(Apologies to all those who get flooded/rained off etc. of course - I care only about the science...)

lol!!!!! me too Chaotica

I was almost tempted to fake some extra rain for her, but that would be setting a very bad example early on.

(And I hate to think of her sitting in Uni saying 'when I was 4, it rained 5cm in one night and I know because I measured it!' I would be responsible... )

this could be the start of a life long hobby!

I'd best not get her into faking results then, or we'll have climategate all over again in about 30 years.

upgraded to warnings up to (and perhaps more than) 50mm.

Oh lovely, right over us!
At least it'll fill my pond up!
It's gone quite dark here and the wind's got up in the last 1/2 hour. Think something's brewing!

I hope you have plenty of drying room cat.

How does the atmosphere know it is a bank holiday, you tell me that!

its my nephews 3rd birthday party tomorrow, his mum has hired a bouncy castle and bought BBQ food

one little warning area left as the rain moves SE.
showeres follow on behind.

hope it dries off for you cat!
