Had a power cut to go along with the miserable pissy west of Scotland rain this morning.

the road round the corner from me is flooded so badly that a double-decker bus is stuck in it. I'm banking on an Iceland delivery coming today so I don't need to leave the house.

Going for a run in the miserable pissy west of Scotland rain shortly. The pleasure of getting home afterwards should be good.

Glad I visited last weekend lol

If the rain had held off for literally five more minutes I would have got home without getting soaked.

I was worried for the dog too. Would not have let him get that close my god.

Realized today I'm not going to see the sun in this country for like 6 months now.

Where I am that's not uncommon when it rains - and it doesn't even have to be particularly heavy rain.

By the way and ffs, learn how to pronounce Brechin why don't you, Sky reporters... and she's actually reporting from Brechin!

Curious. Worst/scariest flooding I've ever driven through yesterday, on the Essex/Suffolk border, in a kind of "I wouldn't normally drive through that puddle but I'm not really sure what else I can do" sort of way. Eventually, stopped trying to get anywhere in particular beyond zig-zagging to *anywhere* that might be less wet.

i am back on my bullshit viz reading "flooded shropshire" stories on the shropshire star twitter account (the only good account):
e.g. "two kayakers were spotted paddling across a country road" near craven arms 🌊🛶👍🏽

our nephew moved in last month, he's been in Oregon since August. Today he asked the classic "how long does it rain for, anyway" - he was not expecting the answer to be "until May", lol

I used to go to the Gambia a fair bit and there the conversation was the opposite: you ask when it's going to rain and someone looks up and says, 'eh, April'.
Absolutely shat it down here last night. The rivers are swole af.

But it can't just be heavy rain anymore, everything has to be an 'atmospheric river'

a tornado warning in Scotland, never thought I would see the day
― boxedjoy, Sunday, 21 January 2024 22:37 (four months ago) link
I left the landing window open, the roller blind was flapping like crazy and there were some leaves on my stairs. Quite fair to call this fucker as a named storm system, but it doesn't sound like 90 mph wind here, yet.
A “tornado watch” zone was issued for Northern Ireland as well as parts of Scotland and northern England by the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation (Torro) on Sunday afternoon. That means a “strong tornado” is possible in those regions.
see how it goes time

Impatiently waiting for Spring to start in London, delayed by a classic pissy rain Sunday with no hint of sun.
― Dr Drudge (Bob Six), Sunday, 10 March 2024 14:44 (two months ago) link
just walked about 5 miles in various levels of pissy rain, all of it miserable.

I've just come back from a two mile walk in the rain and of course now it's stopped and there's a hint of sun.

Indeed. Rapid change of plans for today already in operation.

I see I was anticipating Spring back in March - we seem to have transitioned into it this year without many obvious signs in London.
― Dr Drudge (Bob Six), Monday, 6 May 2024 10:25 (four weeks ago) link
it's really pleasant here. I've got the pool set up in the garden, laundry drying on the line. It will be pishing it down by 4 pm, though.
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Monday, 6 May 2024 11:01 (four weeks ago) link
it's nice here also and the chief sign of spring -- not weather but green leaves everywhere on the trees -- came in two weeks back “like a lion” (as all the rural saying-hedz er say)
― mark s, Monday, 6 May 2024 11:27 (four weeks ago) link
I have a tree in my garden and when it starts flowering the bees form a drone orchestra, that's the sound of summer for me. Also there is a chocolate mining bees nest somewhere underground where my garden meets the brick wall. They are very chilled bees but I can't take my bins out with only my socks on because I have had my feet stung by them more than a few times. I don't take it personally though.

These references to lions are very confusing... I'm aware of the saying:
