Fields here that have never had water standing as very stoney etc are currently acres of surface water, thankfully nothing can actually flood here like they can on the flatter parts. Very surprised the local fire service haven’t been called out to any floods in the last 12 months with all the rain we’ve been having mind

I dread to think what it’ll look like here in the morning

Following a week of constant rain, probably the same as here, but maybe a little flatter...

That written, there's a hell of a wind blowing at the moment, so we might all dry out... a bit.

Winds gonna pick up to 80 mile an hour so ive just been told , on about Boxing day.

I should imagine to do that it will back around to a full on SWesterly more as per 'normal '... because atm its coming from the SSE so its a bit cool as well as wet

You would want to be at Sea atm.

Lots been flooded for 2nd or 3rd times this year ,plus Covid hot spots ,difficult senario's is a major understatement for them.

Where are you? It's blowing a gale from due North here... and it is also 'cooling'.

Yeah, ours is dry in parts, except where there's stuff still running pouring onto it...

We're down in the deep SW, was a typo or something .
Was NNW and now backing around to the West , quite nice in the sun actually this morning

Water is about 18” off the top of the drains around here, much higher than summer levels. Have been on the blower to the drainage board and apparently they are manning the pumps!

Wheat after potatoes, never seen water lay like this on this field. Looks like a re drill in the spring

Dunno, 'bracing' is an understatement for here at the moment.

Climate change is real, gets worse every year

Anglia update: Weather Forecast:

A few light showers on Christmas day, those mostly confined along the east coasts of Norfolk and Suffolk, elsewhere dry with sunny spells. A chilly start to the night with a widespread frost, but milder conditions pushing from the west overnight with some rain possible. Cloudy on Boxing day with spells of light showery rain around and mild, but breezy.

Blustery overnight and into Sunday morning with heavy rain, leading to some large rainfall totals and a risk of flooding, accompanied by gusts widely around 50-60mph at times. Rainfall totals of 10-15mm widely in western parts of the region Saturday night, perhaps locally a little higher. Rain clearing southeastwards on Sunday with sunshine and wintry showers following, ahead of a cold night with widespread frost. Further rain, sleet and snow at times through Monday, with another chilly night to come, albeit the confidence in any details remains very low at this stage.

I wouldn’t say it gets worse.

Climate has always changed and human intervention is minimal compared to the main drivers like sun spot activity,weather patterns,volcanic activity and changes in natural ocean and atmospherical factors.
