We are well overdue a proper wet one

[Ayrshire Chris]

Looking at the doom laden weather forecast heading our way we are sorely tempted to head down to sunny Somerset, climb the Tor, visit Pilton for a meal in the crown, a wander round the site and stroll through Glastonbury town.

I’d imagine some beautiful sunsets in the area as we are due a bit more of that Saharan dust

Wish we could swap what seems like half the Atlantic Ocean dropping from the sky here for some Saharan dust!

It's been a beautiful day here today. Just about to fire the BBQ up and have invited a few friends over.

Sadly no, things to do.  Really wet here today again. A wee bit worried with the usually gentle stream at our front door😊😉

Fortunately if it gets any higher it floods over the opposite bank into the trees and field. Never had any issues with it. I then wander over there and pretend I’m in the Somerset Levels.

Enjoy the BBQ, we’ve gone one further than a replacement bus service and instead have a replacement boat service😉

That looks pretty bad. Take care.

The unseasonably warm October (it was 25c here yesterday) is making me think we're in for a really unsettled year next year and that means a sodden fest

[Ayrshire Chris]

First snow of the Autumn on the Arran hills, Winters coming! 

[balti-pie]

four or five inches of rain predicted for scotland on friday: that'll be, er, nice. You look like you've had enough up there!

Just the two inches predicted down here in sussex, and i'm stewarding the Beachy head marathon on saturday which will be a lovely day in mud, rain and sideways wind! 

[Franky]

2010 All over again! Woohoo

Had a sense of Dejavu when I saw our local station earlier... Remember why now.

Just a bit of raw sewage

It's going to be disgustingly horrendous boggy weather next year. Seriously, don't worry yourself with trying to get tickets because they're only going to have to cancel it. Definitely don't bother in the ticket sales. Pointless

Exactly, even it isn’t cancelled trench foot is a painful hard to cure extremely nasty condition. 

[sprocketrocket]

Ticket Fiasco?!?!?! wait until you see next years weather... Don't even bother trying in two weeks time. 

[Penrhos]

As much as I'd hate another 2016 (the last time the wife went) we probably need a couple of boggy ones to thin out the insta crowd.

Weirdly wasn't Glasto one of the few totally dry festivals in the UK last year, I d remember a lot being delayed/cancelled due to the weather later on in the year, and I personally got soaked at several outdoor gigs in the summer.

I'm getting old and I don't do "hot" very well so a low 20's with occasional showers suits me fine. 

 

Fortunately its not too bad here at the moment, flood warnings everywhere but no major flooding, been raining most of the day but only a few inches worth, which seems to be draining away OK. The view from the Glasto webcam looked grim.
