[dazmond]

[rosskesava]

I don't know which weatherman said it'd be good for the next 2 days. For most, tomorrow could be a wash out.

UKWW issued the following at midday. It's not a warning but a 'watch out for'. UKWW is often more accurate than the met office because they don't have to constantly appease PR driven politicians.

[Paul Coleman]

At least the water companies have made hose use compulsory to stop the reservoirs overflowing.

[rosskesava]

Around here, Southern Water are busy dumping the excess water into the sea.  

Worse than that, all the reservoirs are 100% full but still, there's a drought.

[EandM]

Picked up about 1000 litres of rainwater in the last 48 hours.
Hoping I'll stop picking it up for long enough to go and do some work!

[Londoner]

Thinking of selling my van and buying a boat

[Klean07]

Rain off and on here in West Mids. Fed up with cabin fever so Ive worked through it today. Looks like its drying up now so out again in a mo then to my local at 5pm to watch England! C'mon!!
