Are in place for the entire South of England, very heavy rain and storm force winds for a prolonged period tomorrow.
Let us all be sensible and careful, and most importantly safe .

Thanks Andy, I agree. Was going to take a walk to the Library tomorrow, don't think I'll be bothering if its a bad as they say.

Not a good sign. Luckily my brother picked up my Dad and took him to stay for the holiday season to his home in Newcastle today and not tomorrow.

There have been warnings of travel chaos on London news this evening, that's probably why and a very good move. Smile

Least I know he'll be safe and enjoying himself.

This is the third serious weather warning for the South, the other two didn't amount to as serious as they had predicted...We will just have to wait and see with this one, but minds put at rest so perhaps the warnings were warranted.

Might not have in London, but a few miles from here they would disagree with you about the last one.

Chucking it down in Kent, + howling wind.
Getting ready for work and deep joy, the Dartford Bridge has just been shut.
Looks like I am joining the M25 car park for a few hours today!

Not too bad here. About 5 degrees and windy but dry

WE had a heatwave here last week (with more than 5 days over 35℃..), a couple of days there it was up over 40 in the backyard !!!

Light rain and drizzly yesterday, and promised through to Boxing Day; then back to heat wave conditions later this week..

Heatwave temp's and high humidity --> now that adds up to a TROPICAL New Year here next week ! ::%::

...Heavy rain and high winds starting again here in SE london!

Dig out the basement...To provide a place to get away from the heat...Just put some small windows in! Laughing

Air conditioning works a bit well upstairs, but ceiling fans work pretty well at the basement level....Do you really like being hot for all of the time?

Of course...I'm talking about being at the top of a fucking mountain on the fucking coast in a hot country.

@Catman
the middle of summer is a bit of a pain but it means that both spring and autumn are awesome. Although it must admit the year doesn't fell right with out it, it's just provides and excuse to go for a swim and eat ice-creams sunny

AROUND 42℃ out in the yard will equate to around 35-36℃ in the shade, and maybe 30-32℃ inside, Phil'...

(The maximum that I've seen around around here was 45 in the shade, 47 up in the Upper Hunter Valley (that would be well above 50 out in the open, up in the 60s if you stood on a tarred road or on concrete (!); while the lowest winter temp's that I've seen down here near the coast here would only be around - (minus)5-6 degrees celsius..)

IF you lived in an area like this, and deliberately set out to acclimatise yourself to the local conditions, after 3-5 years you could find that mid-30s temp's that would smash you the first year down here, could be feeling like your mid-20s British summers after a while..

STAYING well hydrated, and not spending too long in direct sunlight, is far more important that worrying about those big numbers.

THIS house here has air-conditioning and three ceiling fans in it, for when things DO get uncomfortable..
