Thankyou for telling me this. I couldn't see them anywhere but have found them in the previous topic. I put them in the poetry section when I thought they had gone for good from here. Marian.

Thanks for posting Bucks and its always useful to get reports from other locations in The South East.

Im by no means an expert but I think the reason higher ground in Sussex is currently sodden while lower levels are reasonably dry is due to the soil and rock types in the area.

It takes a few days for the rainfall to perculate through these surfaces, and I suspect in a day or two you will see water levels rising on low lying ground ( Pett Level, The River Rother and The Military Canal in particular ). Worth keeping an eye on, so please keep me updated.

Well at last a change in the weather is taking place. Overall we have dodged the bullet here in London and The South East compared with other regions, but even so, there have been some torrential downpours over the last few days for some of us.

Last nights rainfall in London was unusual for the fact it came from a very small area of circulation at the centre of a Low Pressure system, and it was more or less tracking around the M25 for several hours.

So, looking ahead whats in store ?

Today ( Tuesday ) may see further showers in our region, but these seem to be dying out as the last Low Pressure system heads off to the east. The change is occuring as we draw in a drier, but colder north easterly airflow. As I mentioned in an earlier post, temperatures will fall for the rest of this week, with some fairly widespread overnight frosts.

By the weekend daytime maximums may fall as low as 3c ( 37f ), and with a north east wind it will feel unpleasant, but next Monday is showing signs of a warm up with temperatures climbing back up to 9-10c ( 48-50f ).

**Can I just take this opportunity to say I would like to thank the Administrators of this website for allowing me this topic. I'm not a metereoroligist, just a complete amateur who happens to have an interest in the weather, so for me its a hobby. I enjoy doing it, and I enjoy reading your responses, banter and all !!

The day folk stop reading and posting here is the day I know I am wasting my time, and will pull the plug. Thank you ALL for your continued support, and unless a post breaks the T & C's of this website, there is no need to apologise for anything**
