    Its getting very cloudy here but it seems to be light cloud with no potential in it.

    Within the next half hour i would have thought or not at all, looking at the satellite images it seems to be fragmenting up a lot in the last hour.

    There is currently light rain here and its gotten pretty dark so should be imminent here hopefully :)

    Blustery showers here, with occasional gusts thrown in for good measure.

    A bit of a non-event. Everytime the media hype something up -turns out to be a damp squid. Yesterdays front page news!!:confused:

    Well that's the media for you. Once a major event happens they latch onto that thread for the next few weeks, so flooding a few weeks ago means every LP system is now watched hawkishly and if it's even moderately heavy or gong to be relatively windy, it is good enough for full page news.

    Same thing happened after the terrible bus crash 3 years ago in Meath. Anything involving a bus after that was overly hyped. It almost got to the stage of any bus getting involved in any prang got a mention from Ann Doyle. That's one example. The Tsunami a few years ago was another. They need to fill column inches and fill out timeslots so any old hype will do that.

    Agree , I read it for my amusement. See the graphic in the Hearld the other night was funny for a start. Who does that i wonder?

    The west is under a heavy band of rain and looks to be large totals there with also yesterdays rain which affected mostly the west and not the east. That band is pushing east atm.

    So maybe they will get their story afterall?

    White radar returns over Connaught, don't often see that. Any reports on the ground there?

    No, it's not looking good over in the North West at the moment. Could be a wet afternoon for us too, even if the precip is just in the yellow region by the time we get it.

    A sun holiday would be nice at this stage...

    Hopefully after power showers on Thursday there will be a chance for the fields to dry off. Sunday could be another rain watch with waves along a front to our south threatning, perhaps they might swing in over the UK instead. It all depends on how high pressure develops over Scandyland.

    There is a dryer spell on the way - at least a week or so - should lower the water table. Although with temps cooler and lighter winds the effect might not be as good as it otherwise would be. Heavy showers today though.

    He is banned after one post:confused:
    Also, why did he feel the need to register a new account? Was he banned under his old nick. The intrigue of it all.

    I had high hopes for a dry spell towards the end of August so i'll believe this dry spell when i see it

    He was banned for shenanigans in "After Hours" and then came back for more resulting in his re-reged nicks going too. A pity, he made some good posts here.

    Back on topic it sure doesnt look like we are going to get a dry spell any time soon. This run of wet weather must come to an end eventually though!, probably in December when it will be mild and dry :D

    What's 'After hours' Supercell? I just usually post on this site day or night. Didn't realise there was another section?

    It's a pity about Darkman I agree. I liked his posts. Oh well :(

    Actually if you look at the site ban list darkman2 was banned for issuing legal threats against the site via pm-look at the 4th name down the list as of today.That was very very silly as such threats incur an auto site ban.
    Summer is still present by the way in a big way south of the Alps :)
