Can't believe how much its rained lately if this keeps up we're going to see a repeat of the major flooding we had last year lots of localised flooding here
Winter 2023/24 - It's FREEZING!

Its actually hailing here at the moment, soon as it started I thought to myself that I cant remember the last time it hailed. Usually either drizzles or rains but dont often get hail.
For East Anglia it was the wettest and mildest February on record whilst for the SE & Central England it was the mildest and 2nd wettest on record. Nearly 250% above average for FEB, and only 62% sunshine in the best areas! Although it was mild, it didn't feel it under that cloud and rain. 500MM+ of rain since OCTOBER
Ground is very saturated here but flooding is minimal, couple of big big puddles coming home though. If we get any period of sustained rain before what is on the ground currently drains away it could be pretty bad.
Weather is really weird though - blips where it reminds you what winter is - Tuesday morning my car was covered in ice, but then periods where it is very mild.

This is climate change, more rain for everyone
Its yet another reason for emigration for me.
UK is getting wetter and wetter. And it's my least favourite weather.
Sure you can do outdoors stuff in the rain. But it sucks compared to dry (cold or hot)
Only gonna get worse

Just do it man stop threatening it
need to mow the lawn but its too wet, haven't seen my mole for a while, poor sod has probably drowned.
no rain isn't ideal for me either as my picnic is just as important as my walk, surfing isn't impacted but getting changed afterwards with the tailgate open isn't great

Feb must be one of the wettest on records surely?!
I was hoping the weather was a bit more Spring-like by the time I got back in the UK. Not off to a good start as it's kinda snowing back home!

Yeah, was a bit of sleet and hail here in the NE yesterday afternoon.
You moved to Wales though!

Tbh that was hard enough.
Its not too bad during summer here for wet. But winters.. Omg they are so grim.
But saying that there was nothing to do for me out in Lincolnshire in winter anyway.
