Damn, out of upvotes.  That would be an impressive slogan though.

The irony would be if we couldn't see it due to how heavy the rain is / was / going to be.

Ha, yes and I'm guessing it'd attract even more selfie shots.

How does it? No real rain forecast after this week. Doesn't sound like odds stacking at all.

 

Low temps and big downpours this week (40mm on accuweather, 20mm on metcheck) and looks set to continue (albeit not as heavy) until the 24th.  

That and being reminded of 2016 is enough to get me to be all reactionary.

Looking at the Environment Agency Flood Guidance Statement I'd say that the site is in the best place in England this week.  Everywhere else seems to have a far greater likelihood of flooding.    It's minor impacts and low likelihoods all week for that part of Somerset.  

Given what's about to be unleashed on London and the South East today (significant impact and medium likelihood) I think we've dodged a bullet for now.

Dunno what it's like back home in Somerset but if Glastonbury was in Sussex today it would be worse than 2007 and 2016 combined. It's 11c and twatting it down. Hoping that we're getting all of June's rain in the first half of the month. It certainly looks like it if today is anything to go by

Ffs man. I genuinely giggled like an idiot then. On a bus.

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Oh well, at least we can always savour the memories of 2017...

Can someone in the know outline this threads view on where we currently stand weather prediction wise. Im sure the answer is somewhere between the extremes of 2016 and 2017 but are we in for a muddy one or will we be alright?

[deebeedoobee]

 

Good news: my goretex trainers and raincoat are waterproof 

bad news: jeans aren’t 

good news: track and fields holding up

bad news: cows hiding under a tree

good news: here’s the rainfall in the high tech rain collector

It's currently raining in sausage county. As long as cider county stays dry I'm happy to have the wet stuff.

Cumberland?

I don't think anyone can truly know what lies ahead, even the "experts". History has told us that June is one of the most unsettled months of the year. Like every year, the next two weeks is going to be a rollercoaster of emotions, right up to the weekend itself. Hope the best, prepare for the worst is the only advice I can give

Looking at the rainfall radar there's some HAM precipitation happening just to the west of Exeter. Let'shope it passes north.

[rawrsomesauce]

Just across the severn, it is absolutely hammering it down. Not seen anything like it since well, the thunderstorm in 2014.
