Stair rods here in the better half of Sussex

[mjking73]

My son's football training was fun! Rain was okay then the lightning started...home we went. Driving in that was interesting!

Just moderate precipitation caressing my grapes here in the affluence of Steyning.

I would say not for long, but being so far north, you might get away with it.

Easing off and brightening up here in God's own Sussex, and I just bitch slapped the kids at Frustration, so things are looking up.

A poncho won't cut it today.

The only saving grace is it's raining so hard you can't help but assume 'it can't rain like this all day'.

I'm sure that Noah's mates said something similar.....

 

[Pevenseagull]

It's just arrived in Farm Road

no need to water my tomato plants today

Not sure I can believe a word of this thread until Papa L has spoken!

I can confirm that biblical rain has reached Hove.
No thunder or lightning though (boo hiss)

 

[TheJasperCo]

Here in Ferring it's stopped now, but up until 15 minutes ago the rain, thunder and lightning was spectacular.

I can confirm that biblical rain has reached Hove.

So we are looking at about an hours worth of rain.
Travelling at 20mph.

I'm right by the seafront, so those in higher areas may have been first to receive the sprinkling.
Certainly enough rain that there'll be a few tweets from someone safety-related about being careful approaching the stadium, I'd imagine.

It should be at the stadium by 11, then away by 12.
Still raining @ 1.

Clearly, he made Better Sussex, then decided he needed Lesser Sussex just to underline how good Better Sussex is.

red or white? I'm looking at my first decent crop!

We got redduns. 18 bottles last year, expecting double that this year with more bunches and fatter grapes.

Which part of west Sussex do you live?
You have some dodgy areas.

Rondo here, 25 of them with varying sized bunches and just starting to turn purple. The better half is doing the how much room and stuff, is wine making going to take up! me too!!

 

[TSB]

It is MUGGY AS **** out there at present. Hope we have a storm soon or public transport will be deeply unpleasant.

When is public transport not unpleasant?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It's clearing from the northwest.

Forecast for Falmer:- Chance of precipitation (now) 99%; Chance of precipitation (2.00pm) 76%

Heavy showers, turning to moderate showers. Wind is from NNW (10mpg, gusting to 17mph) - are you sitting at the front of the wrong stand?

When you don't have to worry about driving in heavy rain, with spray flying into your windscreen, surrounded by idiots who can't cope with the conditions and are driving too fast.
