Weather Report..................

[Bear]

Well we had a not wet half hour or so, but it's been a steady old rain all day still going on.

 

[2cv]

A bright calm day and should reach 13 degrees. ️️️

 

[Pauljenny]

No rain related problems here, we regret to report.
Bit nippy, though.

Not stopped raining all night. Rivers Feugh and Dee close to bursting their banks and the photo shows flooding at the end of our track due to hill water run off.

Worse still, Tony, the Guardian, presumably lacking knoowledge of syntax, report a warning of amber rain ... Unless they do mean that it really will involve golden showers ...

Amber rain and the only fresh veg we can find today are onions (no milk either) as no supermarket deliveries from the Central Belt due to road closures. We’re doomed!!

 

[HurricaneSmith]

We've had ongoing moderate rain that's affected traffic, a stiff breeze from all directions, and a 14 degree high, but in all honesty it's nothing like as bad as predicted here.

Tony, be careful with the Tesla in this weather. Read this article about Edinburgh Tesla owner 17k bill due to water ingress into battery bank.

Edinburgh couple fume as they are handed £17K bill by Tesla as they 'drove in rain'

The pair have told of the "excruciating stress" that has been caused by the ordeal, with Tesla allegedly demanding they pay for the battery that stopped working after a drive in the rain.

I read that yesterday Terry just after I got home after driving through flood water!! Had to take the car out again just to check it was still working.
Off the road now as it failed its MoT on split CV gaiter and MoT expires next week. Waiting to see when I can get it fixed by which time, hopefully, floods will have gone down.
Whats Midlothian like at the moment? Haven’t heard from our daughter in Penicuik so I guess they’re out basking in hot sunshine.

 

[The laird]

13 degs here sun out

 

[Pauljenny]

Weather forecast was pretty accurate
The light showers have become a 90 minutes deluge

Nobody is complaining

I reckon the Tesla in article may have had a manufacturing fault, and dealer is chancing their hand with the owner?

I reckon Midlothian missed a great deal of the storm, yes we have had rain, nothing compared to other areas of Scotland. The wind picked up at times, but where I am, nothing drastic. Yet a half hour down the road to Dunbar and North Berwick, both towns took a hammering, the Cuick has its own micro climate up there, anything could happen weather wise.

Stay safe up there

Much better day in Staffs, only 10° but the wind has backed off and its been dry since early morning. We even have a smattering of blue sky and the odd ray of sunshine.

 

[runnach]

9c now, rain has ceased, sky is clearing, can see some blue, instead of wall to wall grey

 

[marchie]

Burntisland beach is now much nearer than 100 metres ... The promenade bench seats are less than 6 inches clear of the sand, looking perfect for a Japanese Tea Ceremony ...

[rugbyken]

bit windy in scarborough campers

 

[Val54]

Bright blue and 7° in Staffs

Beautiful bright morning and 12 degrees so far. ️️️

 

[Pauljenny]

I think we should move to Blackpool.

 

[HurricaneSmith]

I laughed when I saw Bill groan as Paul joked about moving to Blackpool.

It's a lovely bright dry day in the Weald, with a light westerley breeze, and 14 degree high.
