207mm so far this month, 33mm today already and we have a weather warning for Thundery rain and possible tornadoes out for Sussex for this evening

Southern Water still running adverts on TalkSport over water ‘shortage’…kind of incredible considering the volume of rain that’s fallen over the last few weeks

It's not actually rained that much down here really though until the other day. Some heavy showers but very little in the way of heavy persistent rain like most of the country has had for seemingly weeks (and over summer it seems which we also escaped most of!). All changing now though for the next little while which should top things up somewhat

No sign of snow in the Kitzbuhel area yet, but the weather has turned autumnal. Short term forecast is mild and mainly dry. I expect we'll be skiing around the second week of December, quite possibly on artificial snow.

Problem often is that sudden deluges overwhelm and therefore much of the water goes out to sea (with the turds) rather than soak nicely into the ground and also fill reservoirs.

Some of this family including me would love to live in a snowier clime

According to the Southern Water website July/August above average rainfall

I moved here to Estonia two and a half years ago. We have nice summers. But I have to say I prefer the snow in winter to the usual rain in England. Today is s bit early to be honest and it won't last. Proper snow should be from late November tight through until late march judging from the last two years

I love the snowy pictures you post in winter, please do it again this winter.

Does it slide off solar panels more easily - or are they slightly heated to liquify it. Or do the householders have to do something?

Just told the Mrs it's snowing in Spain, she looked surprised!

We've had trick-or-treaters coming through the snow every sixth or seventh year, but today in Portland (ME) it topped out at 75ª or so.
Tuesday night -- chance of snow.
The old timers in New England always said "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."
I've got my snowblower and mower (for chopping up leaves, mostly) side by side in the dooryard during November.

Crikey, BBC TV weather for us forecast 4 days of torrential rain, with 80-90mph winds hitting the Sussex coast on Thursday.

To benchmark, in the Oct 87 storm the Isle of Wight and Shoreham recorded 115mph.
