Rain?

Jesus, just been caught in the most insaine rain / thunder storm i've ever witnessed. I'm actually soaken to the bone. It's like monsoon season.

British summer, can't beat it!

Had one like that up here in Lancs last week. I was in the Gym, but the Triathlon club were out running.

My God did I larf! Poor babies got a bit wet

Still not as good as the ones I got caught in when I was training in the alps a few years ago. Hell at 5000ft!

Rain

So much for global warming.

So much for global warming.

'Global warming' is an example of climate change. One of the results of climate change is an increase in extremes. So for example, warm weather becomes very hot weather and wet weather becomes very wet weather.

At times like this it must be reassuring to live in High Wycombe.

Eton and Wraysbury didn't fare too well the last time we had day after day of rain.

I was going to insure my kitcar today. Don't think i'll bother :-D

Ive been out and about all day hunting down flooded roads to cross in the truck

We only crossed if we saw a Land Rover Freelander attempt it, if they made it, so would we

The only thing aside from Artics and large trucks that made it through every flood? Land Rover defenders.

The only 4x4 that didnt attempt any? X5s. What does that tell you?

Might have 4 wheel drive but its not an offroad car

Ive got a 4.6 HSE Range Rover theres nothing that wont go over, Ive never even put it into low range gearbox.

This was the view from here on Friday

More than 50 of my neighbours were flooded, but 7 of us escaped. It's a very different feeling having the water lapping around you than watching it happen to other people on TV.

The guy in the Spanish lorry spent the night there!

More to come next week??

Whoa. That's insane. I live in Arizona and we need rain deperately, but that's a little too much.
