Damn, I've lost a pear now, and the sprouts are looking decidedly ruffled.

[VEA]

I can see the DM headlines now 'Pear-cider company goes into liquidation as storm decimates Pear crop.'

Washout today at Santa pod those that hadn't already left did so as the 1 o'clock thunder and light show arrived!
one of those intense fronts full of heavy precip looking at the rain radar, now sunny in Wellingborough, typical!

Nothing worse than ruffled sprouts........

Not been to bad a day in Horsham, had some gusty winds and a few heavy showers but when the sun is out it's nice and warm

Car is packed, we are off to my parents for dinner soon and then plan to leave for Newhaven at about 8pm for our ferry to Dieppe.

We've got our Stugeron packed!

My wife will be taking hers very soon, I am looking forward to a rough crossing

[knight]

Think I should have packed some warmer clothes as it's a bit chilly compared to temps of late! Crossing was good although we left an hour and a half late due to the weather, but it meant we had extra sleep in our cabin it was quite rough but that helped rock me to sleep

[Digger]

Is that Summer over and done with then Pugs?!

Any signs of returning persistent sunshine on the errrr . . . horizon?

[Mr GrimNasty]

I don't think any significant records will be broken, but it looks like there is still some very pleasant weather to come.

Certainly don't fit your winter tyres yet!

[LiamB]

I'm giving a couple of mates a lift to Reading festival next week, please tell me it is raining from next Wednesday through until Sunday night for them?

[MarshPhantom]

Crazy storm in SE London at the moment.

[iva cosworth]

Same as I passed Tooting n Mitcham,now in Croydon with thunder n lightning.

[King David]

I'm best man at a wedding in Worcester on Friday afternoon.

I don't suppose anyone here who knows what they're talking about can give me some good news?

At the moment it looks like we might be need the umbrellas

[Melman Giraffe]

What is the weather looking like (Bournemouth) from 28th - 31st Its the Air show so hot and sunny would be good if that can be arranged?
