At the moment the best weather in the UK is the North West of Scotland.

So all those who decided to go there just now are "laughing".

Good luck to them and I hope the midges are not too bad for them.

Here's an update on the weather warnings and likely disruptions.

Not sure why they had to cancel a flotilla of boats sailing through York though? :boat::boat::boat:

BBC News - Floods as torrential rain hits UK

The council said it expected river levels to rise, making it too dangerous for the flotilla to go ahead

it says 'ere.

We brought my narrowboat up the Ouse from Barmby Barrage to Selby this morning on a very high Spring Tide in torrential rain.Then from Haddelsey along the flooding Aire as far as Beal, where we are now, before the flow got too much for us. We're now moored against a floating pontoon while the river rises beneath us.

But, if we're spared, I pick up my Hymer on Tuesday! Whoooo hooo!!!

When there are floods, the River Ouse at York goes up so high that boats have trouble getting under the bridges. My husband often can't work when that happens.

P'raps that gulf Stream thingy has decided to move north at last. To where it belongs at this time of year

Here on Skye it has been a very unusual summer - it has been very dry while every where else has had rain!

We have been asked to use water wisely: BBC News - Highland households asked to use water 'wisely'
