Britain braced for commuter chaos as mega-storm is set to dump a month's rain tomorrow

Commuters have been warned to beware treacherous conditions tomorrow as Britain braced itself for a massive storm.

Forecasters say the autumn's first major storm will roll in off the Atlantic around midnight - and lash some areas with a month's rain in a single day.
The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for Wales and the South-West until tomorrow evening, saying that around two inches (50mm) of rain is expected.

It must be one of those "dynamic weather fronts" that I always see in SH3. Prepare for two and a half weeks of stormy weather.:D

Tabloids and accurate weather prediction don't mix.

See THIS (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=E7mEMveOock) from a week or two ago.

A month's rainfall in a day? What is a month's rainfall for England? 250mm? (1" in old speak)

Sydney will take it if England doesn't want it, I would love to see the dams full!:yep:

250mm = 10"...on that basis you should be experiencing severe flooding instead of near drought conditions ;)

The BBC Weather forecast last night said there would be rain in the early hours of the morning and drying up briefly. I ask the BBC where the hell was it then? Bone bloody dry here and on there map I was in the thick of it, BS. Up to date now and I see very light rain not the heavy stuff they predicted. Once again the BBC has lied so whats new from a Socialist liberal wet behind the ears organization. :rotfl:

Use google earth and live weather sat maps.

Better yet, look out the window. 100% accurate (except in case of ingestion of mind-altering drugs):rotfl:

I am on a roll slagging off the BBC weather. :D

My area is now dry according to the BBC weather so is it? Not really, moderate rain coming down. :rotfl:

And the BBC has the cheek to stay they got a million pound weather computer that can predict the weather in 100 years times and yet they can not get it right in the here and now. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, the BBC does not predict weather. The met. office does that. 99% of UK news services get the same data from the met. office
