Groovychook Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Its hammered down here since about 1pm. I would think some localised flooding in places..... It's hammered down here all day long!! Really horrible weather !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just been to collect his lordship from the other side of Basingstoke. Went on the motorway - big mistake - could hardly see for the deluge not to mention spray. No more thunder (yet), but it has been extremely heavy. Has eased off a bit here but still raining. Came back by the A30 - so much steam rising from the road - very eerie looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dunno why, but this keeps going to Google when I submit my posting Anyhow try again: This morning is dry, but it is very dull and grey. Looks like we could get a lot more rain. Very little breeze at all - has been quite still up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Cool and drippy here after a night of stair-rodding and distant thunder (was the storm over your way, Lesley?). Slightly brighter now, but the barometer is dropping. Just 14deg this morning too - hardly seasonal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Well we have had some sun, but I have a blooming headache which needs to be sorted out now. Had it since yesterday. Perhaps I'm picking up your storm. Can't see it from here, the clouds aren't too bad (not good either I hasten to add), not storm looking yet.

Valkyrie Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 We've had non stop rain - really heavy - for a good couple of hours now. The sky is an even grey blanket. We have very soggy birds that refuse to go and shelter in the greenhouse or their runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
