Rain here too, autum is here for the duration. P.Apologies for not posting. Air pistol target shooting, which I've been doing since spring, in addition to gardening during the summer has rather distracted me.
We're finally getting rain here at present; the first really singnificant amounts since June. Here are Malcolm's short-range thoughts from earlier this afternoon:
It's forcast for later today...........just as I'm taking my dog for his evening walk!Very heavy rain in many parts today, including where I've spent the last few hours at the air shooting club. Care needed on the roads with standing water and spray.
Rather you than me!It's forcast for later today...........just as I'm taking my dog for his evening walk!P.
Well, for one thing it isn't a hurricane now. Once hurricanes move over colder seawater they weaken ad undergo extratropical transition, in other words they lose the hurricane characteristics and basically become a standard, though at times quite severe, European autumnal storm. Its path at the end of the week is still uncertain - it could slide up the western side of the British Isles bringing strong winds to N. Ireland and western Scotland, with rain and blustery winds elsewhere, or it could weaken further and cut across the country somewhere in the north or Midlands as a much less severe feature, bring blustery conditions and rain to all bar the northern half of Scotland. It seems likely that, after a generally settled day tomorrow and Thursday (in the east anyway), the ex-hurricane is likely to cause the ridge of high presure to recede southwards as the jet realigns, so the weekend and early next week might well be unsettled. It seems that late next week onwards should see the jet realign further north, so the typical autumnal north-west/south-east divide is likely, with the former seeing more of the unsettled conditions and the latter having more dry weather, albeit with fog likely.Any further details on this potential hurricane?
Thanks Chris. Can't get a much better answer than that!Well, for one thing it isn't a hurricane now.
