For those who are in high risk of flood areas there is a Severe Weather Warning been issued by the Met Office, but let hope they have got it wrong. ADVANCE WARNING OF SEVERE WEATHER Here is an ADVANCED WARNING of Heavy Rain affecting England and Wales. Issued by the Met Office at 06:59 on Thursday, 23 June 2005. The Met Office is forecasting the current mini heat-wave to break down with thunderstorms developing across England and east Wales in the next 36 hours. The storms are expected to arrive across Wales and southwest England on Thursday night, transferring N/NE into other parts of England during Friday. The storms could be severe and long lasting with squally winds and large hail. Torrential downpours of the order of 60mm in a 3 hour period are possible with total accumulations reaching 100mm or more locally. Such rainfall totals could lead to significant flash flooding, particularly in areas prone to rapid runoff. The area at greatest risk of disruption is expected to extend from eastern parts of SW England and central-southern England northeastwards across the Midlands and E/NE England, but even within this area, some regions will escape the worst of the storms. For enquiries regarding this warning - please contact your regional Met Office. Transmitted by the Met Office at 06:59 on Thursday 23 June |

I know I said the garden is desperate for rain, but I didn't want THAT much! Might go and stand out in it to cool down. Feeling very glad we live on top of a hill. CB >|< |
