    Another mild, wet and windy day. So far there has been about 4" inches of rain since midnight Friday. 1500L water tank on new greenhouse has filled up in less than a week.

      Good morning all drizzle and light wind temp 8c
      Precipitation 38%
      Sunrise was 7.22
      Sunset 17.22

      Last night at 11 pm it was gale force winds and torrential rain, couldn't get to sleep because of it.
      This morning Barley wouldn't go out not because of the weather, he gets like this sometimes if something changes in the home or if we do something different.

      By the time we got out the heavy rain had stopped and it was just a bit of drizzle. In the woods the path was flooded because it dips a bit and it floods.
      The stream is very high up.

          Good morning!

          I hope you have all survived the night!

          I’m currently in the Welsh Marches, watching the river rise up the garden. When I woke at 7am, the water was just starting to creep under the hedge. By 9.30am, it was up to, and generously surrounding, the silver birch, so about 4-6” higher. It has the look of a rapidly rising river. Again, last night, the playing fields were clear, now you can see that they are totally submerged, and the river has fully breached, as the fenceposts next to the river walk are under!

          we are currently in a lull between two bands of rain. The red-warning rain from South Wales will reach here in about an hour....

              Rain has now stopped :fingers crossed:, wind has dropped and the sun is trying its hardest to make an appearance. Heavy rain is due to hit here about lunchtime.

                Forecast here says it should be chucking it down right now - but it is just light rain and a moderate wind at the moment. Thankfully we don't have to go out today, as everything I am doing I can do online now.

                        No let up with the rain since yesterday and windy but not as bad as yesterday which was nearly as bad as last week.

                              Our lane is flooded as usual. And our local river, The Itchen, is flowing high and fast.

                              More fence panels have decided to join the other fallen ones too.:sad:

                              Still heavy rain with the Amber warning.


                              Some how ( don't know how:noidea:) the greenhouse door slid open and everything is soaking wet and has be blown everywhere!!

                                Wind has dropped considerably in the last hour or so, still pretty steady rain.
                                Temperature has dropped from 12.5C at dawn to 8.5C now.
