Good job I have no plans to go biking this weekend!

Been pretty bad round Glos/Brizzle where I’m staying/working

Probably the driest its been for ages in’t north west. This is because I’m riding in the Cotswolds at the weekend. If I was staying here it’d be biblical rain, guaranteed. Obviously it’s heaving down, down there 🙄

Windy but bone dry in East Manchester

*heads to get canoe out for weekend*
The Minnoch (Dumfries and Galloway)

Yet the Cree is below what it was earlier this week as yet – and our chaps ‘on the ground’ at Loch Ken today are suggesting it is not as wet as Monday…

Blueish sky in Hove.

Patience dear boy, patience.

The weather man, not your love life.

I’m in my focus sitting in a car park. There’s a bottle of water that’s leaking a bit but it’s quite dry really.

sheffield: itser bit breezy, but not bad.

listening to the radio you’d think the mayans were onto something.

A bit of light rain here in Co Durham but incredibly windy

No rain today but yesterday it was properly effing mental.
Ps in epsom.

South Gloucestershire only slightly damp today, the epic rain forecast didn’t happen (or has not got here yet).

Ground is totally saturated, rivers very high.

So today’s summary moist above the ground, seriously wet on the ground.

part of the Grand Union Canal washed away just down the road from me yesterday, and its not stopped raining since.

Just a bit of heavy rain and wind in Northumberland. Not a pleasant night but it’s winter so you expect it to be wet.

lashing it down in Wigton / Cockermouth area. A595 awash!

Probably the driest its been for ages in’t north west.

Not here its not. Biblical. 🙁

*looks outside the office window*

Yep, it’s raining. As usual in Blackburn.

I live on top of a hill in Fife and there is a constant stream of water running down the drive and the fields are flooded.

Otter’s pocket.

go away binners, its bloody sodden down here already. We dont need your mojo.

Some roads flooded but receded a bit yesterday evening/today, but it’s lashing it down again. I might head over to the coppice tomorrow to see how flooded it is and whether my wood has floated away…

btw as at 17:29 that streak of blue denoting biblical rain is bang on top

wwaswas – worth going out tonight to Stanmer? not been out for a few weeks so no idea what it is like!

quite wet here, even by Norwegian standards 🙁

OK revision for South Gloucestershire.

The rain forecasted has just hit, it’s like someone drumming on the windows and the trees appear to be going sideways !

Glencoe had an inch of rain yesterday.

East Devon here. Several local villages flooded and roads closed yesterday. Yesterday morning was the closest the water flowing down our road has come to flooding the garden I have seen since we moved here seven years ago. Been dryish today so waters have receded but it is now proper lashing down. Not sure about tomorrows ride now!

Derbyshire and it’s lagging down! 45degree style for the last hr!!
Two of the lads have still gone out as planned tonight!! **** that!

South coast, dry as and windy, been windsurfing!!!

Glasgow and Lanarkshire was blooming biblical for rain and flooding today, got to the office and had to strip down to my boxers and hang everything over the radiators!!

nice and dry and sunny here in Den Haag.

Britain goes into panic mode when anything marginally unusual/exciting happens lol. It’s kind of tragic really. The czechs polish and russians must think it’s hilarious. We’ll probably have a water shortage tomorrow too.

Brizzle – a port in a storm.

Wettest commute home I have had in 4 years in the West Midlands.
Still fun though.
