Maybe Nostradamus had a point...

It was certainly like the end of the World here today. We had the lights on at 10am and I had a call from a friend who lives in a caravan to say the floodwater was rising and she was cut off, so instead of getting the solar panel sorted I ended up driving 6 miles through various bits of floodwater, the last being over two feet deep, but I was in my Discovery, not the camper. I had to wade the last few yards, but luckily the water subsided whilst I was there. At the moment it's like a rain forest here, so I'm hoping we don't get the same in France...
 
Just had a spectacular thunderstorm here, almost as good as the ones you get in southern Africa.

We have not had the extreme weather here in Gods country that the rest of the UK has had.
 
Staffordshire

I live at the Cannock end of Cannock Chase.
 
Just spent the afternoon erecting a marquee in a filed just outside Matlock - we were assaulted by rain, hail, and a temporary river running through the middle of it. Thunder, lightning, the works - but now we've got the thing erected, the sun is out and its bloody hot - I think that's called Sod's Law! :D

Derbyshire has had plenty of rain, so what part of our county are you in?

Nice try Somelier. :lol-061:


I did work in derbyshire in 2007 when the summer was much like this present one. I was the Construction Manager on the new process plant at Ballidon limestone quarry and I stayed on a CS at Parwich most of the time.
 
We have had no rain here but it is very hot and humid. I washed the floors at 9am and they are still wet.
There that was interestin' weren't it.

France will be lovely. Just keep driving south until that yellow thing appears in the sky.

Just back from 3wks France/Spain - scorching most of the time with just a few showers mainly in the north on the way back. Off again soon.
 
1/2 of an inch in 30 minutes about lunchtime, people in Hebden Bridge were beginning to get the feeling of deja vue, :scared: at its' most ferocious it was coming down at 6"ph, fortunately if stopped as quickly as it started so no major problems.
