SNSUN Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Where I am it's chucked it down every day for the last week except Saturday, thank God, as it was my wedding day. Very lucky. However you're right, it's June, and we should be having sunshine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micky Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 Where I am, I had a bbq yesterday and worked in the garden, basking in the glorious sun today. You may feel that I am gloating somewhat - and you'd be bloody right because it's pretty rare that the weather here surpasses the weather there. And let me tell you - we know all about rain here...!

Robsk II Posted 11 June, 2012 Share Posted 11 June, 2012 I'm in Sussex, one of the placest this has worst affected, and there were so many roads shut and floods that it was mental. Took me 90 minutes to do a journey that could take 30 this morning, and it took 2 hours on the way back once I'd diverted around various shut roads and sat in stupid queues waiting to go throgh lakes in the road. I saw one Ford Ka go through a 'puddle' with it's lights underwater - I can only imagine they got wet feet... This was just down the road, and was pretty widespread within a 20 mile radius or more of where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's looks pretty bleak. 10 / 10 for perseverence of the driver caught out on the right hand side there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch Posted 12 June, 2012 Share Posted 12 June, 2012 years ago we had someone at work who said in the very near future because of global warming we would get very mild winters and rainy summers. How we laughed at him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheaf Saint Posted 12 June, 2012 Share Posted 12 June, 2012 years ago we had someone at work who said in the very near future because of global warming we would get very mild winters and rainy summers. How we laughed at him... Although it hasn't actually been proven (yet) the overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that average temperatures in the UK and the rest of north western Europe will drop as a result of global warming due to the disruption to the gulfstream (that currently provides us with warmer climes than many other areas along the same line of latitude) caused by the desalination effect of melting Arctic ice.

Robsk II Posted 12 June, 2012 Share Posted 12 June, 2012 Half right. It's the A27 North of Bosham.. it was like that through the stretch from Havant to Chichester, as well as at other stages along the A27 East of there, and a whole load of more minor roads were utterly underwater yesterday. Crazy. Mostly better today but the run-off and so on has, once again, created lake Pulborough. Just South of Pulborough is a large plain, and it is.. well, a flood plain. This morning the water came up over the road in places, never seen it do that before there -but more impressive is the uterly vast area that is now just underwater. That bridge has water going up above the arch. The banks on either side are, accordingly, a long way underwater, and that is the level of these plains pretty much.
