5 miles away was on the news for flooding. I was so unaware of it I just went and drove to a flood plain without knowing lol. Lucky it wasn’t flooded.

Mo34 · #**2312** 18th September 2023, 00:25

I've put the lights off so I can watch the lightning.

Percy · #**2313** 18th September 2023, 01:44

Lots of lightening here but hardly any thunder

biscuits · #**2314** 18th September 2023, 07:54

It was stormy most of the night here - thunder, lightning, rain - the works.

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**2315** 18th September 2023, 08:12

Thunder and lightning here too

Merry · #**2316** 18th September 2023, 10:11

Lots of rain here, no storm yet

It was weird wasn't it. I had the same.

Was quite a light show though

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**2318** 18th September 2023, 19:24

I just saw this flash and thought I had imagined it and then really loud thunder. I think there might be another storm tonight. I dont know why but I get really scared during storms but really excited too!

Yes, please - I'm on holiday in Cornwall, that would be perfect (although the forecast is 21).

biscuits · #**2321** 19th September 2023, 20:24

^ that's pretty good going - 21!

To be truthful, I'd be well up for an extra bit of warm weather and sunshine. Im not mentally prepared for grey days.

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**2322** 20th September 2023, 17:54

Heavy weather to batter Kent today. Hope there is a storm tonight with lightning guys!!

No one would want to be with me during a storm I have to get under the covers and cuddle my pillows and hot water bottle. sometimes I imagine Im dreaming and its all in my imagination....its like the snow when it arrives you think to yourself...is it really snowing outside and you feel such a drop in temperature and then look outside.

I think in Britain we have such a varied seasonal life that you can never get bored with the seasons. I am sure you all have your favourites. I think mine is Spring because it is leading toward summer but then when summer comes it is often a disappointment!

Laurel · #**2323** 23rd September 2023, 14:28

it's too cold, where's the sun?

Rocket Spud · #**2324** 24th September 2023, 01:56

Blankets are becoming useful again.
Windows aren't as open as they once were.
Socks are a good idea.

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**2325** 24th September 2023, 09:06

I like the crisp feel at night now when I open the window.

biscuits · #**2326** 24th September 2023, 12:33

It's time for honey, lemon and ginger again.

Tubbs · #**2327** 25th September 2023, 14:10

This is my kind of weather, lovely and cool and crisp. Looked out the window this morning and thought 'Ooh, it's really foggy out', but it turned out that my window was all steamed up!

New glasses for Tubbs, please

biscuits · #**2328** 25th September 2023, 20:31

As soon as I see a slightly golden leaf, it's officially time to rewatch Gilmore Girls.

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**2329** 25th September 2023, 20:50

Storm Agnes set to arrive soon!

biscuits · #**2330** 27th September 2023, 23:18

^ it was weirdly wet of ground and warm of air today.

It's proper windy out there. I've just had a vision of my cat whirling around in the wind in the garden.

Laurel · #**2331** 28th September 2023, 18:37

Indian summer, 33C france- poor sods.

But not so bad for UK

Rocket Spud · #**2332** 2nd October 2023, 01:26

We need some rain. It's October now, time to get realistic. History repeats. There should be rain somewhere in the offing. I should move to Ireland.

Laurel · #**2333** 2nd October 2023, 06:42

You know I was thinking that Spud. I wonder what rent prices in Ireland.

Derbyshire should suffice.

Laurel · #**2335** 4th October 2023, 21:34

starting to get cold in evenings now

Laurel · #**2336** 5th October 2023, 18:40

Argh, 7 degrees temperature rise on Saturday.

Shy_pretty_Angela · #**2337** 5th October 2023, 19:52

That sun when it comes is still so lovely though. October is so weird weather wise...still warm and sunny but colder days.

genovese · #**2338** 6th October 2023, 20:37

Lots of sun till Wednesday

My babies are growing up

gregarious_introvert · #**2339** 7th October 2023, 01:02

^ Still yellow weather warnings for heavy rain here (Lake District) and just had a week in western central Scotland (still under a yellow weather warning) of constant rain.

biscuits · #**2340** 7th October 2023, 08:56

^ they really ought to rename yellow weather warnings because it sounds like they mean piss will be falling from the sky.

Do you experience flooding where you live, greg?
