I've not seen rain like it!

[elsiegee40]

I've just driven back from Buxton to Kent in diabolical conditions. Heavy rain and loads of spray, rarely making it above 60 the whole trip... Or even 50

 

Most driving sensibly, but I could murder people driving only with side lights. It made lane changes very difficult as you couldn't see them coming up from behind

 

I'm totally knackered, but glad to see sunshine now.

So is the thread not to mention we have lovely blue skies?

[CAM]

I'm in London and my office is on the line where blue skies begin and evil grey clouds lurk in the sky.

 

@witch: Lorry drivers are the worst. I was restricted to 50MPH on the M25 one downpour as I could feel the car losing it at 60 and lorry drivers went bombing past me. It's like a bucket of water being poured on the windscreen, blinded me.

Just drove back t'north from Newbury, a boat would've been a more sensible form of transport. As for the standard of driving by some people, just unbelievable!

I could have done with a periscope!

I went to Hull at 2pm today (only 30 miles from here) took me double the time it normally takes as I could not see where I was going and now its bright sunshine!

I think you got muddled with one of your triplets (me)

Ok, I was wrong. The monsoon has arrived in Bristol too now. Just in time for the weekend.

[witch]

Oh yeah @CAM, it was @elsiegee40, not me!!

[laserblazer]

Despite it chucking it down here, I was glad to see blue slies at Wimbledon and a result. I bet they're glad they got a roof.

[CAM]

Sorry! Been a long week.

[Sirbendy]

It was quite fun to drive in...haze at road and pavement level due to water rebound, wipers not making a dent, so switched them off (Thankyou Rain-X for doing a better job!), lights on full, aircon on to stop misting up, kids in the back quite enjoying it, and the missus with "glad it's you driving.."..several lorries hit us with sheets of water, but it's all part of the fun.
