Answer 1

I'm in Oxford and it's a little chilly. A bit of sunshine everynow and there but sometimes there's the occasional shower although it's not as a big of a problem as other places.

I just got back from Tunisia and i miss the weather there which is making me feel depressed. :(

Answer 2

Southern Oregon checking in here. We haven't seen rain since Late April or Early May. Won't see any until late October or early November.

Been running about 108 f. during the day and cooling off to 65 or so at nights.

Answer 3

You live in Ireland huh?

Me too. The rain has been mad the past couple of weeks. Drove the car over a raised manhole cover just last week & nearly popped a tyre. Still it was hardly a tsunmani.

Answer 6

Amanda here! Reporting from Roscommon Ireland!

It has been raining non stop here!

It was drizzling for a while so if you had to you could go out side but now its just POURING down dead badly! I mean you seriously wudnt  want ta go outside in it! My poor doggies nearly got blown away!

But we are lucky as Roscommon is highland so all the ran just runs downhill into Belfast! HaHa! Just kiddin! Defo no manholes being lifted here though! But there are quiet a lot of fields flooded!

But we live in Ireland so what do you expect?

We might get a summer in 2009 though as all summer it has rained!

Answer 7

Flooded. Landslide today derailed a train. Ah the joys of living on an island in the Atlantic.

Answer 8

Answer 10

I live on the Kent coast and we only had a bit of rain early this morning.  The rest of the day has been lovely - about 68 - 70 degrees.  Nice T. Shirt weather.

Answer 11

Here in London not too bad - rained overnight - remains grey but is expected to clear later.

Found out by chance yesterday that the river Humber drains about one fifth of the rainwater which falls on UK.  Blimey!

Think ye River Thames is working overtime taking wet away from the other bit down here.

When cast iron manhole covers start to lift, this is a sure sign of severe flooding.

Thus far across Ireland and Britain, Ireland has been hit hard by flooding.

Here in UK someone told me that a major canal in Yorkshire had been drained by the company who own it, prior to the big rains, thus use it as a drain thing.

Hope everyone is okay.

Answer 12

It has not stopped for a fortnight here in Cornwall, and the holidaymakers are all packing up and going home. It's usually packed out here right now, but it's more like October.

Considering I only paid £500-00 for a fortnight in the South of France, I can't understand WHY people choose Britain for a holiday. Daft, innit?

It's cold too, and I cannot believe I'm lighting the fire, in the middle of August!!!
