laserblazer Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Absolutely chucking it down but then it is Sports Day! I think Droitwich might be flooding again.
Garacesh Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Our sports day was Tuesday.. The weather was nice, so nobody was inside the building to break anything.. Yippee!! I managed to actually get some proper work done xD
EduTech Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I just had to drive from Birmingham to Coventry! It was terrible... rain splashing between both carriageways and 2 lanes filled with water! complete nightmare...
Trapper Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I've just a few grands worth of AV kit. The wall kinda broke. It was like a waterfall. It's been a fun morning.
BatchFile Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 We're doomed too, Doomed I tell ye [/FraserOffDadsArmy] See attached photo. and the weather's coming from left to right
Flatpackhamster Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 The local weather station says it's 26.6C here.
TechMonkey Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 So I shouldn't boast of the loverly weather this way?
36Degrees Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Just been picking up submerged power cables, multi-socket extensions, laptop power supplies, etc. The staff room went from water coming through the door to top of my shoes in a couple of minutes...
Earthling Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Office windows open, office door open, block door open..........28.4 C. Pleasant breeze through the office. Ray-Bans on.
Guest Guest Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Rained every single day since April here. Just had to cut the lawn with a strimmer as it had got to over 2ft with no chance of cutting it with a lawn mower due to it being soaking! Next doors was up to 5ft before the council came with a strimmer. Edited June 28, 2012 by Guest
difinity Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 We've just had hailstones big enough to crack windows and dent cars !!
bloxy Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 We had hailstones and torrential rain here to in Coventry....it's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine... oh and don't forget the hosepipe ban...
RabbieBurns Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 thought england was in a hosepipe ban drought of the century?
pcstru Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 It's the wettest hosepipe ban on record. (I believe it is lifted now in many areas).
MatthewL Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Flooded here in Northern Lincolnshire in our village, knee deep in water, been helping fire crews (as I know them) and we got a pump and shifted aload of it. Will put some pictures up later.
Sylv3r Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 We've had it pretty bad up here in Durham too. Infact our school is closed tomorrow.
MatthewL Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 A few images from today: 28.6.12 Keelby Flooding - a set on Flickr, here shows the same scene in 2007: Flooding - 25/6/07 - a set on Flickr 1
laserblazer Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 The River Salwarpe was close to the brim yesterday afternoon but has lowered a bit this morning. I'm not sure it will cope with much more rain though.
elsiegee40 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 It's hard to believe the rain I've seen on the TV. It was stifling here yesterday... hot, humid and sunny. (We've still got a hosepipe ban) I hope all you soggy geeks are OK.
ozzy Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Newcastle was a complete washout, 5hrs to drive 4 miles, got home to find a new river flowing along the path at the front of our house and the lake at the back had risen by 3ft in a couple of hours. We had a knock at the door from a council official telling us to get packed to leave for the night. It was within 1/2 inch of coming through the from door at the highest point but luckily never got in. It's the end of the world coming I recon. 2012 phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HaleStorm Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 Here in sheffield it was a funny old day yesterday...15minutes torrential rain followed by 20minutes bright sunshine, all day...temperature stayed around 23/24 even through the rain.
witch Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 It was a really lovely summer's day here yesterday - 26 degrees with a light breeze. Today? Chilly, wet, miserable Ah, summer
Brucy Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 People round here have conservatories and greenhouses smashed by the hail!
bondbill2k2 Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 We had around an hour of torrential downpour which saw water building up like crazy and several smallish leaks spring up around the school none of which thankfully affected anyone too much. A mate of mine, a builder by trade had 7 call outs in 30minutes to leaks at different locations including 2 into small business server rooms. This downpour was folloed by lovely sunshine and 22C+ temperatures its just so strange to have lovely blue sky then the darkest clouds known to man hovering a few miles away. Journey home last night and to work today took abit longer with several de-tours from road closures ended up being about 45miles today. Horrifically a man was found drowned only a few miles from here, an old teacher from our school I'm told about 15years ago! RIP
Devontechie Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 It's hard to believe the rain I've seen on the TV. It was stifling here yesterday... hot, humid and sunny. (We've still got a hosepipe ban) I hope all you soggy geeks are OK. Yeah It was a nice day down here yesterday as well. We are 1 of the lucky ones in the South East that are not in a hosepipe ban anymore!
