London tonight: "Wettest August since 1917"
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 19:15:40 +0100
Anyone else notice the bizarre notion that this is already
London's wettest August since 1917, which underpinned
a feature on "London Tonight" tonight?
At Hampstead the month's total to date is 45mm ... still well
short of 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2002, 2001, 2000, etc,etc!

I bet Norman's pleased he didn't get these conditions off Skye.

Red flagged again.
Still, from Friday on it looks like there might be a return to summer
- especially down here.

Jet nicely North for a change
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:46:25 +0100
It does seem, far from someone like me to say it, but where are you DP? oh
is he on holiday? but there is a nose of the Azores High (so long dormant in
its usual position) taking effect on Thursday. Once that troublesome trough
leaves our shores it could well be the start of a longer period of settled
weather. ...

Drizzly Solent not on rainfall radar
Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:33:08 +0100
Just had a report from my daughter who is in Lee-on-the-Solent and at
1525 GMT (5 minutes ago) a brief sunny interval there gave way to
another spell of light to moderate drizzle.
The 1515Z rainfall radar (Avbrief) is struggling to show this so I
thought I'd mention it.
