Nice weather for ducks!

[Guest MojoPogo]

Inspired by the quality, but fubar Lemon Jelly song of the same name, and by the even better British weather, i was just wondering if anybody has been affected by the floods of the last week or so, and also what people are planning to do? Im seriously considering getting a dingy to paddle around in, its THAT wet at the moment....

 

Hope everyone's ok, and noones house has been badly affected, because having seen some of the people on the news, its been absolutely dreadful. A months rainfall in a day in some areas and a tornado in Dudley.

 

Any thoughts?

[BRM 220]

I was glad of the rain on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

I'd had enougth by Thursday

 

Friday it was just depressing.

 

Not had much today, but the clouds are gathering.

Had to almost swim to the boys school yesterday morning, i got very soggy. Bar that, it has just made a small leak in the kids room into a LARGE leak.

It's mad here. Yesterday we had bad rain and my mum was driving through water in town that went up to the bonet. It's been pretty crazy today, started off really nice then hammered it down, then brightened up, now it's raining and I can hear Thunderstorms just starting now. Please stop :(

[Guest ahsatan]

It's not bad here. It's not been particularly sunny, but it has been really warm lately, pretty muggy. I'm guessing it won't be long until we have a thunder storm.

Currently it's a bit overcast, light breeze and warm. :)

[Guest Dazoggsta]

It's been raining solidly since wednesday, which meant going to uni wasnt much fun, but today it's been dry, even sunny earlier.

[Red05 343]

It's been crazy lately, our backyard was completely flooded, a good 5 inches deep, the water was! I was looking at it out the window, and I noticed a lone sock floating around. :lol

 

Today it's nice though, not overly sunny but it's bright. Normal.

[Guest FreeSpirit]

Had to drive up to Glasgow yesterday in torrential rain for work, which completely sucked.

[Burakiosaurus 129]

it stops me form having to water the garden and the plants, so i'm loving it

 

and why do we say 'nice weather for ducks'? ducks are always in the water anyway, so why would it benefit them getting their top halves wet? this came up at work the other day and it made me ponder

[Guest Dazoggsta]

Because the flooding means there's more places for them to swim? So they can go to new and interesting places?

[Guest Taki]

It aint been too bad here considering we're right on the coast and normally get the downpours first, been overcast all week but brightened up every night about 6pm today has been lush caught a bit of a tan walking down town which was nice, was beach weather really but too busy to go to beach got loads of washing dried on the line for the first time in ages, so I aint got no complaints about the weather FOR ONCE.

 

xXx

It's spost to be summer and yet we have rain typical english weather once its sunny and warm then its hashing down with rain carn't we have bit of stability.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

For once I can relate to you lot about the weather!

 

Its been bucketing pretty much non-stop for 10 days, torrential rain and freezing cold, just horrible. There have been massive floods on the Central Coast, north of Sydney. A couple of people have died after a bit of the Princes Highway collapsed, and there is a huge mother of a rig stuck on a beach somewhere there. And whats worse, I had to play goalkeeper at football on Thursday and freeze/drown. Tis 'orrible.

Had a phone call off my Nainy yesterday, she left a message on the answer machine saying, basically "I thought I better call and see how you were. I watched the news and it had all this stuff about floods. I thought I better check you're not all flooded and had to move out of your house". I called back and laughingly managed to say that, not only would I have let her know, but if I HAD moved out, then I wouldn't have got her message...

That's a joke right? It's being non stop rain for the last 4 days. (No rain today though.)

You do realise Ireland is bigger than one cloud.

Still though they had floods in nass one of the days during the week and it was sunny in Athy(where i live) and thats only 20mins away!

I don't know exactly which part of the area he lives in but there was a lot of rain overall around Dublin and Dublin County.

Last Thursday and Friday were really bad in Cork.

 

Today is nice,hopefully it's picking up again.
