The lack of sleep is annoying, but I will gladly take it over the utter shite we had for most of the summer.

Tonight is a shitter.
Sweating like King Kong wrapped in cling film. Just drop the temperature by 5c and it'll be alright.
Unbelievably violent thunderstorms ongoing here, to the point that sleep is impossible.
Just found it's way to SE23 and this might be one of the most beautiful bits of weather I've ever witnessed. I don't know if I'm finally a fully fledged gammon or what but fuck the sun, this is transcendent shit.
We're CR4 and I slept through the whole lot.
19 degrees in October is a bit ominous. We're going to baking when we reach our 50's.
At the moment we're still in credit from the shit summer.
I was a bit confused when I saw something about record breaking July and August temperatures this year, before realising it was global average.
We were promised 26c on Sunday but they've now pulled it back to 21c. If we weren't going on holiday next Thursday I'd be going fully Jurgen Klopp at the MetOffice.
iPhone weather app definitely the most accurate.
There's not one of them accurate, even the national ones, unless they're forecasting later the same day.
I spend the whole summer poring over minute details of weather, and can confirm that the Met Office shits all over any of the others from a great height.
I remember reading a while back that 5G was going to disrupt weather forecasting accuracy (actually not a conspiracy theory despite it sounding very much like one) and I wonder if that's why all the forecasts seem shit these days.
Also did read something recently about the BBC switching away from the Met Office as their source of data/forecasts for some cheaper option so that's why BBC Weather is shit. I dunno.
As Spikey said, I was gearing up for a 25+ heatwave weekend before having to brace myself for a few months of hibernation but it's diluted down to more of a 20+ week of nothingness instead. Pretty much the same happening to the seasons as a whole, I haven't even started wearing any layers on top of my T-shirt yet and it's a week into October.
Ventusky always serves well for cricket I've found.
They haven’t a breeze either. None of them do.
A little bit of rain and they’ve cancelled trains for the full day. Christ
Red warning for rain. Hopefully the Council shut the flood defence gates this week after forgetting to the other week.
I only remember red warnings being rolled out for heat, not rain.
Looks like I might just about miss the actual area given for the red warning. A bit too south. Phone still says it’s going to rain for the next week though.
Looks like they’re proper confident about it too. ‘There is now high confidence in exceptional rainfall across Angus and South Aberdeenshire’. 250mm in 24 hours for some
We fly back tomorrow. Landing with a yellow warning for rain and wind in place. Yay.
It was meant to be THE STORM TO END ALL STORMS here but it's barely windy and there's been fuck all rain. It's not even that chilly.
I think it's definitely the end of Shorts Season.
Never.
I wore shorts today, I'm not doing a gym workout in trousers.
The rain is on the way, it's biblical down in Horsham at the moment.
I see we named this one, what the fuck is this name all about? Can't even give the Irish grief for their weird names when we roll Storm Babet out. Has that been through some sort of inclusivity filter?
Edit - I see it is the Dutch who are at least partially responsible.

Not a chance.
If anything it's been getting warmer in the last few days.
Poor Brechin have been given an evacuation order
It's wild here, but to be honest not *that* bad. Drama queens.
Aye, rain hasn’t been too bad. Very windy and a bit grim. Red alert covering Perth and Dundee now. Let’s see the chaos - if any - that 6pm brings.
Not even fkn raining
The wind is pretty horrendous but it's just like fine, pishy rain. It was way worse two weekends ago.
Ok I take it all back l.o.l.
Hope the boats aren’t too unstable for your rescue mission
It's just the greyest grey I have ever seen here. And drizzle. Relentless, never ending drizzle.
Aye, I've just been out and it feels like 10pm.
Forest vs Luton meant to be postponed due to rain. What a joke.
(Although apparently the derby is at risk so)
I'm a twit
I was in the Midlands for work the week just gone and on Friday morning a journey that should have taken 20 minutes from the hotel to work took nearly an hour and at one point I thought I was going to end up on local news. Thankfully a kindly resident guided me through what I can only describe as a lake, but having already driven into a kerb head on (that was completely submerged) my car is now sans a front number plate.
How easy is it to get a new one? It's a hire car so I guess I'll have to go through Lex, but I need to be driving the thing from Tuesday onwards and I'd rather not get 3 points for doing so...

I seem to remember Halfords do them in store, could be bollocks though.
You generally need the V5C to get proper plates printed, don't you?
They're advising people here not to travel between 9pm tonight and 9am tomorrow due to heavy rain. There's gonna be chaos at tomorrow morning's rush hour. Thank fuck I work from home.
Fuck, I've to be up there for 8am.
Well the obvious answer here is not to go. Fuck you work.
Or just leave a couple of hours earlier.
As long as you're getting paid fine.
If you're going west you might be alright as I think the worst of it is Armagh, Down and Antrim.
Belfast, but I'll stick to the A1.
When are these constant storms going to stop? Firmly cementing October/November as the worst two months in the calendar.
