Anybody experiencing Storm Ciaran yet? How’s it looking? I’ve taken the chance and headed to London but have fingers crossed it doesn’t cause too much disruption later.

Lovely morning up here on Skye, bit of snow on the hills yesterday....forecast to get a bit grim later I think

Got caught up in the last storm two weeks back when the whole of Tayside and Aberdeenshire were under a couple of feet of water which was pretty hairy at times

Hairy water is new.
 
Bit windy down on the South Coast here overnight. Studio is amidst a well established large copse, couldn’t call it a forest really but close, and we’ve lost a few big trees over the last couple of years just 50-100ft away. Hopefully none down overnight and just strewn with leaves and branches.

Well.....according to wide eyed Laura on GMB, we're in for armageddon weather, the like of which we haven't seen since.....

Well.......every ****ing October/November of my life!
Drizzle and gusty winds here in The Chilterns, but obviously we're barricaded in the basement till the worst of the onslaught has passed!
 
River Avon bursting its banks in south Warwickshire, Stratford upon Avon cricket club pitch submerged, I’ll post some pictures when it’s light. All a bit close to our house, though it was allegedly built to highest flood defence standards. Hopefully won’t be tested.

River currently 1.7m, with ‘normal’ level 0.5 to 1m. Different government websites predict it peaking at different levels - 2.15m to 2.5m, sometime tomorrow. The record recorded high was 2.7m in 1998. Despite this we are at ‘flood alert’ level with no flood warnings. Rather confused.

Regardless of floods it’s been raining forever and I’m ****ing sick of it.

Yep, it's been "end of days" rain here too.
Up in the Chilterns, so no chance of flooding thankfully, but an old house with a leaky conservatory!!

Enjoy. Just had the official flood warning call. I’m pretty sure these properties will be ok, they were designed 4 years ago in a particular way (ie on invisible stilts no basements, with huge attenuation tanks in the garden to collect water the drains can’t handle) but it’s a bit worrying.

300 miles west of Gibraltar and 19 degrees....
Plus being that bit further south we've at least another hour of daylight, sun sets around 6 o'clock and we're on UK time....
