Its another Planes, Trains & Automobiles epic from DJRC folks. Fucino caldera at 07.00 CET to Poole for 16.30.

And yes you guessed it...flight was delayed in Rome.
And yes you guessed it again I left Italy when it was 30 degrees this weekend and returned to UK after your "heatwave" to find it grey.
And why this epic today? To pick up a droptop.

God's sense of humour sux!

Currently sat outside in an alpine thunderstorm with the bbq while swmbo deals with hungry kids in the van. Thankfully I bothered to pack the gazebo

The locals are giving me some odd looks though

Epic rain today as I passed Maidstone on the M20 around 9.30 am.

Wet again now in Surrey.

[mcelliott]

After what seems weeks and weeks of fantastic weather, our first rainy day. However it did clear around sunset to reveal some quite nice colours.

[DJRC]

Cracking sky

[Carthage]

Ok, so what's going to happen here in Glos tomorrow if anything?

[MentalSarcasm]

Woken up to lots of rain in west London. Quite like it actually, it's a very soothing noise, and the grass is looking a lot happier.

I was expecting to wake up to the dawn of the apocalypse here in Essex. Light breeze and a bit of drizzle instead.

Just starting to bucket it down in N/London.

[iva cosworth]

Puggit's on holiday so the forecasts here could be a bit "Michael Fish" till he returns.

BTW it's wet in Surrey.

[Matt..]

Still here - I'm in the boring gap between the Midlands and London No wind, just constant drizzle.

[Puggit]

The centre of the low pressure is now passing over the Midlands. To be honest, generally speaking, Bertha is a bit of a dud. There are some pretty spectacular storms around, but the wind and rain isn't quite what was feared.

I hope this is true - got that ferry crossing tonight, but on current information there's nothing to fear later.

Sorry,got a bit ahead of myself there,enjoy France,hope the weather improves as you head south.
